What the man in this weird and twisted video doesn’t acknowledge is that women die without access to legal abortion. Or, perhaps he doesn’t care.

Please support organisations like Back Off Scotland and Abortion Rights Scotland. Women should not face harassment when accessing healthcare.

MSP Shettleston in parliament today said “no one is being harassed at these vigils or protests,no one is being intimidated…we are slightly overreacting with legislation on this” in regards to buffer zones. How about listen to the many 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 WOMEN affected? heraldscotland.com/news/24185232.…

Missing context in this headline would be that this woman therefore wants to allow people to continue to accost and harass women outside abortion clinics. And that despite years of legal challenges, failed to convince the courts to continue to allow it in England.

The reviews are in - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ would recommend my shocking revelation to Scottish Parliament that harassing women and nurses outside abortion clinics is quite bad, actually, and that moving people 200m down the road to do it there instead might be a good idea.

A lorry driver blocked off abortion protesters outside the QEUH today

Protesters phoned the police - they accused the driver of being drunk - but officers took no action

When he heard someone ask if this would be a regular thing, the driver said: “As often as I can”

Patients and staff that have been in hospital all day have this to look forward to when leaving the carpark.

The harassment doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. These people will not stop until we legislate.
