A Glasgow MSP has drawn criticism for making 'dangerous' and 'false' claims about abortion clinics.
John Mason, who represents Glasgow Shettleston, has been criticised in recent weeks for his defence of anti-abortion protests that have sprung up at Glasgow hospitals.
In an email to campaign group Back Off Scotland, which seeks to implement buffer zones around abortion providers to push such vigils further away from patients, Mr Mason said he had attended one of the events to speak to the people there, and went on to say he believed abortion was "seldom essential or vital".
