The debate over buffer zones at Scotland's sexual health clinics

There are renewed calls for so-called buffer zones to be implemented outside all of Scotland’s sexual health and abortion clinics, as a new petition gains momentum.

Campaign group ‘Back Off Scotland’ want anti-abortion protesters to be banned from standing close to the facilities as they say many women feel intimidated.
