A 75-year-old grandmother was arrested near a Glasgow hospital for holding a sign offering to talk to women considering an abortion.
Rose Docherty, an anti-abortion activist, was arrested by Scottish police on Saturday outside the in Glasgow, The Telegraph reported, for holding a placard that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.”
This apparently contravened the Safe Access Zones Act in Scotland, which prohibits people from protesting within 200 meters (656 feet) of abortion clinics.
The legislation, which came into effect in September of last year, prohibits anyone from “approaching someone to try and persuade them not to access abortion services, surrounding people as they try to go in or out of the clinic or hospital, handing out leaflets, religious preaching,” or even holding “silent vigils” outside abortion clinics.
