Anti-abortion group plan a 40-day vigil in Glasgow

The group, who claim, they are the largest internationally coordinated pro-life organisation in history, are helping people in local communities end the injustice of abortion through peaceful vigil, prayer, fasting and a community outreach programme, also claim to have closed down 83 centres involved in providing women with medical intervention procedures.

Primarily US based, the group have been active in the UK for around six years.

Green council candidate for Govan, Allan Young, has spoken out against the group saying: “Their presence will no doubt cause distress and harm to women at an emotionally difficult time.

“The protest will also disrupt the vital work carried out by staff at a very busy hospital, and cause distress to other patients and visitors at the hospital.
