A doctor who confronted anti-abortion protestors outside a Glasgow maternity unit has issued a plea to First Minister Humza Yousaf over the "desperate need" for buffer zones.
He said: "First of all, congratulations on your new job, I hope very much that you're going to push through Gillian Mackay's buffer zones bill as soon as possible because as you can see we've got well over 100 demonstrators. Protestors outside my hospital right now. Pictures from the outside the hospital yesterday showed protestors lined up across the road from the maternity unit, with many holding what look to be small lanterns.
In response to the event, pro-choice campaigners arrived earlier at 7am on Sunday morning to put up almost 200 posters, bearing messages such as "bans don't stop abortions - they stop safe abortions" and "my rights, my body, my choice".
