The growing trend of harassment against women attending abortion clinics is worrying and dangerous. Last year, religious activists were seen filming patients, with the two men targeting the Sandyford in Glasgow twice in the same month.
They held horrific signs and chanted through a loudspeaker system, all to intimidate those who attend the clinic. Last week, the Texas-based religious group 40 Days for Life held a vigil outside Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
And now the Scottish Family Party is planning to brick up the entrance to Sandyford. This extremist group may not have widespread popular support but its threats are alarming.
