Abortion buffer zones: is prayer a crime?
After the arrest of a 74-year-old woman under the abortion buffer zone law, the team asks if private prayer can ever be illegal. With Martin Geissler and Laura Miller.
The arrest of 74-year-old Rose Docherty outside a Glasgow abortion clinic for breaching the Safe Access Zone Act has put Scotland鈥檚 buffer zone law back in the spotlight.
As anti-abortion campaigners 40 Days for Life pledge not to break the law during upcoming vigils, we ask Gillian Mackay 鈥� the Green MSP who came up with it 鈥� and Lois McLatchie Miller from Christian campaign group Alliance Defending Freedom International if US Vice President JD Vance was wrong to say private prayer can be a criminal offence.
And after an eye-catching newsroom email, Laura reveals she always sniffs the office milk.
