First Minister to take the chair at summit on abortion to 're-affirm women’s autonomy'

Nicola Sturgeon's chairing comes days after the US’s overturning of Roe v Wade

AN abortion summit in Scotland today will be an important opportunity to “re-affirm women’s autonomy and right to choose”, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

The summit, in Edinburgh, aims to ensure that women in Scotland can access services without fear, harassment or intimidation and will look at legislative mechanisms to establish buffer zones around clinics.
