New protests outside an abortion clinic in Aberdeen have been condemned by Green politicians.
Aberdeen Maternity Hospital was the target of action by the Texas-based 40 Days for Life group after the organisation started a 40-day "prayer vigil" outside clinics offering abortion services in Scotland, lasting until November 6. The demonstrations are planned at facilities in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Falkirk, reports Aberdeen Live.
The new protests coincide with the launch of International Safe Abortion Day. Scottish Greens MSP Gillian Mackay has brought forward a proposed bill on legislation for buffer zones around abortion clinics in Scotland and reacted angrily to the latest demonstrations.
