Moves to keep anti-abortion protesters away from areas around hospitals, including Forth Valley Royal Hospital, have been supported by a local MSP.
Stirling-based regional Green MSP Mark Ruskell has formally supported new proposals lodged by his Green colleague Gillian Mackay MSP to bring in buffer zones outside hospitals and clinics providing abortion services.
Larbert’s Forth Valley Royal Hospital is among those which have previously been targeted by anti-choice protesters.
