'The overturning of Roe v Wade will lead to lives harmed and lost' | NicolaSturgeon
At the start of last week, I convened a summit in Edinburgh - bringing together local and national politicians, staff from the NHS, Police Scotland, charities and campaigners - to discuss the options for establishing buffer zones aroundThe summit was in response to anti-abortion ‘protests’ at places like the Sandyford Clinic and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
Experience tells us that countries which seek to ban abortion only ever succeed in banning safe abortion - we should be in no doubt that women’s lives will be harmed and lost as a result of this change.world The discussions at the summit reinforced my strong support for national legislation to protect women’s access to these clinics without fear of harassment and I look forward to progressing these plans as quickly as possible.
Boris Johnson’s Tories are showing every day that they are intent on stoking industrial strife, demonising workers and provoking a trade war. We are seeing children and families pushed into poverty at a stroke of the chancellor’s pen. Businesses and public services are struggling for staff because freedom of movement has been ended as a result of Brexit.
And, although we are investing £3bn a year to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, Tory decisions are making life harder for so many. And that means it is vital that people living here in Scotland have a lawful, democratic route to make a choice on independence.
