Abortion Law, Buffer Zones & Holyrood Behind Closed Doors // with Gillian MacKay MSP
Episode description
Gillian recently launched a private member’s Bill to implement buffer zones outside hospitals and clinics across Scotland, to protect women from harassment from anti-abortion protestors, as they seek to access health services.
Gillian and I discuss the reasons for this proposal, and the legislative process required to establish it as law in Scotland…
We talk about the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade and how to prevent going in a similar direction here in Scotland…
And Gillian talks about her experience as a young, female MSP and what it’s like behind closed doors in the Scottish Parliament…
And as always, there's plenty more.
