An SNP MSP disciplined over his criticism of abortion buffer zones has said the independence cause will be harmed if “pro-life” politicians like him are silenced.
John Mason made the claim after receiving a written warning by party bosses who believed he had caused women “great distress” for his repeated statements on abortion.
He also doubled down on claims some women had been “coerced” into having a termination, adding that his anti-abortion view stemmed from “science”.
