Anti-abortion campaigners are gearing up for 40 days of protests, that have been described as 'emotional harassment' by medics, outside Glasgow hospitals.
To mark the beginning of lent, '40 Days of Life' will be increasing their protests which can involve holding graphic placards, leafleting patients, and loudly praying within close proximity to clinics offering safe abortions.
The protests, which begin today, are set to run until April 2.
