A bill that aims to put an end to demonstrations outside of abortion clinics has been submitted to the Scottish Parliament.
The proposal was made by Gillian Mackay, a Green MSP, and the first vote is anticipated in October.
The purpose of the members' bill is to establish 150-meter (164-yard) "safe access" zones around locations that provide abortions and other medical services.
A previous legal challenge was promised by a US anti-abortion group operating in Scotland.
Cross-party support, including that of the Scottish government, gives the proposed Abortion Services Safe Access Zones (Scotland) Bill a good chance of passing.
Safe access zones for clients and staff around abortion clinics in Scotland are well within reach, according to Ms. Mackay.
"We can stop the abuse and intimidation they have endured for too long and make a strong statement about the right to choose in the process. ".
With a consultation period ending in August 2022, the Green MSP will have presented draft proposals by May 2022.
Back Off Scotland, among other activists, received praise from Ms. Mackay for their efforts in promoting the introduction of a new law.
According to her, "the right to safe, appropriate, and, most importantly, dignified women's healthcare should be viewed as a human right, and this proposal is an essential step on that ongoing journey. ".
The main protesting organization is 40 Days for Life, based in Texas, which BBC Disclosure revealed was active in Scotland last year.
Volunteers from the organization participate in protests known as "vigils," but detractors claim that the demonstrations intimidate weak women.
It previously swore that if MSPs passed any legislation, it would file a lawsuit.
The Supreme Court ruled last year that the legislation creating these zones in Northern Ireland did not "disproportionately interfere" with the rights of protesters.
The decision effectively cleared the way for Scotland to enact a comparable law.
To be formally introduced to parliament for discussion, Ms. Mackay's bill needs 18 MSP signatures and support from all parties.
