Anti-abortion group 40 Days of Life will be increasing the number of protests they hold outside Glasgow hospitals and clinics over the next 40 days.
Anti-abortion campaigners are gearing up for 40 days of protests, that have been described as 'emotional harassment' by medics, outside Glasgow hospitals.
"We've now reached out to the candidates running for First Minister to seek their stance on abortion care. She 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.
“I hope that this is the last year that we see these protests. The introduction of buffer zones will set an important precedent and will be a watershed moment for reproductive rights in Scotland.” "These women may well be feeling vulnerable and upset. They should not have to put up with judgement or intimidation outside our hospital. How can we offer our patients the standard of care and support they deserve in this situation? Implementing buffer zones is essential to deal with this problem, both in Glasgow and throughout Scotland."
