US group to fight Scotland’s abortion buffer zones

  1. I think everyone has the right to protest.

    The American cult can keep their protest where it belongs in the usa.

    The only way is for buffer zones.

    Where are these protests going on, I would quite like to go and do a counter protest.

  2. US religious nutjobs need to mind their own business and stop trying to impose their extremism on other countries that don’t share their fucked up misogynistic “values.” Why is the UK government granting visas to foreigners who are only coming here to cause trouble and harass women exercising their natural and legal right to make decisions about their own healthcare? These people don’t live here or pay tax here so they don’t get a say in Scottish law and they are wasting police resources we pay for, which are scant enough as it is. They should all be permanently banned from entering the UK.

  3. Can e counter protest with water pistols?

    Just make them so wet they have to go home. I mean its the UK for christ sakes and we’re in autumn so temps are dropping.

  4. Can they you know… feck off back to the US? Their protests will do sweet FA, I really hope they get some Scottish “Hospitality”

  5. I am honestly devastated to see this nonsense spreading to the UK.

    I feel awful for the Americans who have to put up with these nutjobs but the fact that they are now exporting them? Shameful.

    If you really want to protest abortion (and really why would you but thats a whole other point) nicola sturgeon is right – do it elsewhere outside Parliament or somewhere neutral.

    Harassing women during a traumatic time is the work of cowards.

  6. Can we add these people to the “stay the fuck out of our country you cunts” list please. Chuck trump on it too

  7. These are the same lot who lobbied for prolonging Archie Battersbee’s suffering when his doctors said his brain quite literally melted and was dripping into his spine.

    Sponsored Archie’s mother during the whole ordeal

  8. These arseholes are able to shout abuse and harass vulnerable women in Scotland right now with no consequence.

    Meanwhile of you call a rich nonce anounce you get arrested.
    If you hold up a blank bit of paper you get followed by the police and threatened.
    If you show dissent to the monarchy you are arrested

    Cool.

  9. If they don’t like it, they can fuck off to America with the other morons and go live in one of the backwards states that support this shit.

  10. *”Threatening & Abusive Behaviour”—Section 38, Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010. The offence under section 38 is defined as acting in a threatening or abuisive manner, which is likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm, whether or not it is intentional or reckless.”*

  11. Support for women’s right to choose an abortion (or not) is **90%** in the UK

    **90%** of UK abortions are women taking a pill to induce a period, not a doctor dragging out a baby with a bent coathanger

    These people are heid the ba’s

  12. We have buffer zones in Manchester, they didn’t fight those, or if they did they lost. So let them try and see that their constitution and religious beliefs mean fuck all in the UK.

  13. Should be instant deportation for those who visit other countries to try to take rights away from people, and sanctions for the organizations behind it.

  14. The far right is testing out abortion as a possible wedge issue, mark my words. Hard to see it sticking, but then nobody gave a shit about our membership of the EU in 2010 apart from a few fashy weirdos so why not?

  15. Well just like half the Americans in /r/Scotland, if they can track down their clan and prove that their great great grandfather was actually William Wallace then feel free, otherwise fuck off

  16. These Americans have been at this nonsense for years.

    They also fund a lot of the right-wing think tanks which have inspired the sort of brilliant economic policy we’ve seen in action in Britain over the last few weeks.

    Also, groups like the EDL and the anti-trans groups in the UK are heavily bankrolled by American right-wing nutjobs.

    The USA is toxic and at this point, Britain has stage 4 Amerivirus.

    They also spend a lot of money exporting this spiteful religious crap to Africa (and all sorts of other places around the world).

  17. I absolutely hate these old fucks at the GRI, I regularly let them know how much I hate them. On the bright side they seem to congregate at the clock tower entrance which is the complete opposite side of the building from maternity.

  18. If shouting “You’re a sick man Andrew” is a breach of the peace in Scotland at the Queen’s funeral recently, I feel like a lot of this may well be too.

  19. Simple solution for the foreigners harassing our vulnerable citizens.

    Arrest them on the spot, charge them, deport them and ban them for a minimum of 10 years.

  20. Fuck these people and their deranged views. It’s so sad that some people are so obsessed with their understanding of a fictional religious text that such a thing as a buffer zone would be needed.

  21. Groups such as this should be added to the list of proscribed organisations before the kind of anti-abortion terrorism seen in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand spreads here.

  22. Whelp, time to tell half of Glasgow they’re Celtic fans and the other half they’re rangers fans. Issue should soon solve itself.

  23. So religious zealots from another country are coming here with the intent of carrying out activities that aim to intimidate and spread fear?

    That’s terrorism. Get them sent home and on the no fly list.
