An ordinance introduced by Councilmen Bill Peduto and Doug Sheilds to protect women's access to abortion clinics by keeping increasingly aggressive protesters 15 feet away from patients and their families has been passed in a preliminary vote. The council members who voted in support of the new law still need to hear from us. The final vote is scheduled for Tuesday.
