Scotland Wants to Ban Pro-Life People From Praying Outside Abortion Centers
< < Go Back
The deadline for submissions on the introduction of buffer zones to Scotland is fast approaching. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) is calling on any supporters who haven’t yet registered their objections to buffer zones to take part in the consultation exercise before it closes at 11.59 pm on 11 AUGUST.
To maximise opposition to the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) (Scotland) Bill, SPUC has produced a guide to help people respond to the online survey.
The Bill, sponsored by Green MSP, Gillian Mackay, would criminalise people taking part in entirely peaceful pro-life vigils near abortion facilities, threatening them, upon summary conviction, with six months imprisonment and a substantial fine. The proposal has gained the support of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, despite the Bill raising very serious concerns for the protection of civil and political rights in Scotland.
