The former frontrunner to succeed Nicola Sturgeon as Scotland's First Minister says she believes it is wrong to have children outside of marriage.
Kate Forbes - who has already sparked a backlash after saying she wouldn't have supported same-sex marriage - also said that religious rights must be defended if a ban on conversion therapy is introduced.
SNP leadership hopeful Ms Forbes, who is a member of the socially-conservative Free Church of Scotland, said in a TV interview that having children out of marriage "would be wrong according to my faith".
