| Comment | We are happy for anyone to talk about it as much as they like, just not within a buffer zone, because that's not exercising free speech for the purposes of free and open debate, that's just straightforward harrassment. And in case you're not aware, not being Scottish, we don't have absolute free speech in the UK (quite apart from the fact no country has absolute free speech because that's not a thing) - in fact we have quite a number of laws against hate speech, which standing outside a clinic accusing women of murder is.
And, again, the opinions of US extremists are not relevant to the debate in Scotland, in the same way as I wouldn't expect an Arizona news station to interview me about abortion clinics in Phoenix. |
