The 'utterly unacceptable' protests are being coordinated by 40 Days For Life - a Texas-based anti-choice organisation.

The Scottish Greens have slammed the "disgraceful" and "utterly unacceptable" protests from anti-abortion campaign groups.

The protests, which begin today, are set to run until April 2. Similar protests have taken place outside other medical centres with abortion services across Scotland. Gillian Mackay said: “These protests are a disgraceful attempt to intimidate people out of accessing healthcare. Some of the protesters carry very graphic banners and other protests have seen loudspeakers and megaphones. It will be a 40 day gauntlet of harassment. It is utterly unacceptable and has no place in a modern and progressive Scotland.

“My consultation received over 12,000 responses, which shows the depth of feeling. My Bill has also received the support for the Scottish Government. Some of the stories that people have shared with me have been really harrowing and- shocking, and have underlined why this Bill is so vital.
