The Scottish Government has been blasted for spending £10,000 to help anti-abortion protestors have a "dialogue" with women who want a termination.
A £10,000 contract was handed out for “civic mediation” services despite widespread criticism of the protests.
MSPs are backing legislation for so-called buffer zones outside abortion clinics over complaints about women feeling harassed as they enter. The Government backs zones in principle but is discussing the legal issues behind a curb.
