Scotland Introduced Thoughtcrime: Human Rights Advocates Ignore the Law
Human rights advocates risk £10,000 fines for demonstrating within 200 metres of the country's 30 abortion clinics.
On the first day of the law, 24 September, two innocent women were praying with rosary beads in a 'no-go zone' outside Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. They were holding a poster of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Police confronted the women and informed them of the new legislation.
However, it is only assumed that the women were praying against abortion, which was never mentioned. It is possible and likely that they were praying for freedom.
Meanwhile, members of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) protested against the legislation outside the Scottish Parliament. On social media, the society wrote: 'Scotland has just taken a colossal step backwards for civil liberties and established itself as the most illiberal and anti-free speech nation in the western world.
Similar legislation comes into force in England and Wales on 31 October.
