SCOTLAND, December 18, 2017 (SPUC Scotland) – Scotland’s top doctor has been given a deadline of less than three weeks to drop plans to allow DIY at home abortions or be taken to court accused of approving “unlawful” practice.
Details of the challenge are contained in a letter sent from lawyers for the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (Scotland), the world’s oldest pro-life group, which plans to mount a Judicial Review of the proposals outlined in October by the country’s chief medical officer Dr. Catherine Calderwood, with the backing of the SNP Government.
