A Glasgow MSP has been disciplined by his party after defending anti-abortion protests taking place outside hospitals.
John Mason, who represents the Shettleston ward, received a written warning from the SNP after being accused of causing women "great distress" with his remarks on abortion rights and buffer zones outside clinics.
In a leaked letter seen by the Daily Record, party whips told him his comments have caused "distressed" and have spread "misinformation".
