Gillian Mackay welcomes Health Committee support for buffer zones Bill by Scottish Greens

Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay has welcomed the Scottish Parliament’s Health, Social Care and Sport Committee’s backing for the principles of her Safe Access Zones Bill as a key milestone in securing protections for people accessing abortion services.

The Bill will create 200 metre safe access zones, or ‘buffer zones’ to stop anti-choice campaign groups from protesting outside abortion service providers.
