FM @NicolaSturgeon convened a summit on abortion care today to ensure women can access health services without harassment or intimidation.
@scotgov will work with stakeholders on potential short-term solutions including byelaws, ahead of national legislation being introduced.
ALT "Fundamentally, this is about access to healthcare and no one should be impeded from seeking the services they are entitled to." - Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister.

Very cool how when a Black man peacefully kneeled at a private orgs football game it wasn't free speech and he's banned—but when a white man openly prayed on public grounds at a public school as a public employee it's definitely free speech and he's championed.

One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime. Obviously the immediate consequences will be suffered by women in the US - but this will embolden anti-abortion & anti-women forces in other countries too. Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now - but it is necessary.
Right to abortion overturned by US Supreme Court after nearly 50 years in Roe v Wade ruling news.sky.com/story/right-to-…
I am angry sad scared furious terrified and guiltily glad I don’t live anymore in a country that lets this happen again and again.
26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK. #Uvalde
If Alito et al base their decision by claiming theres no right to privacy implied in the constitution, what’s next? How many others are based on this reading of the constitution? Lawrence v TX, Obergefell, Griswold…?
This isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning.

The right of women to decide what happens to our own bodies is a human right. And experience tells us that removing the legal right to abortion doesn’t stop abortions happening - it just makes them unsafe and puts the lives of women at much greater risk #RoeVWade

In 2018 Donald Trump visited Scotland - we gave this 'Scotland Says No' poster to readers ahead of a protest.
Now America has said no to Donald Trump too. Congratulations to President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.

WI: Trump is +100k, but there are 700k votes still to count
PA: Trump is +700k, but 1.8m to count
MI: Trump is +300k, but 1.8m to count
NC: Trump is +77k, but 300k to count
GA: Trump is +100k, but 450k to count
Keep in mind, those are mostly early/mail votes that favor Biden.

Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, begins today at sunset. The most solemn day of the Jewish year, #YomKippur is devoted to self–examination, and the chance to begin the New Year with a clean slate. To those who observe, g'mar chatima tova.
