Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) Scotland will be hosting the next stop on the Right Side Tour in Dumbarton on next Wednesday the 9th May. This is the eight stop on the tour, which has been gaining momentum. If you live near Dumbarton – this event is not to be missed!
The Right Side Tour aims to inform people about the campaign to decriminalise abortion. The pro-abortion movement continues to grow even more extreme in their agenda, now pushing for the decriminalisation of abortion. This would mean the extension of abortion up to birth for any reason. Abortion remains a criminal offence under law, unless it satisfies the conditions of the 1967 Abortion Act. The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) have launched a campaign called “We Trust Women,” aiming to remove abortion from criminal law. This would null the 1967 Abortion Act, and any existing restrictions on abortion with it, includign the 24 week time-limit. This would be the most drastic extenstion of abortion since 1967.
To find out more about the issue and learn how to help, come to the event. It will be on Wednesday, 9th May at 7:30pm in St. Patrick’s Hall on Strathleven Place. We look forward to seeing you there.

Petition Against Decriminalisation of Abortion

May 4, 2018

A 15,000 name petition was delivered by SPUC Scotland to Nicola Sturgeon, on the 50th anniversary of the Abortion Act coming into force. This petition is against the further liberalisation of abortion in Scotland- BPAS is spearheading a campaign for the laws regulating abortion to be scrapped and instead to have abortion on demand up to birth, under the slogan “We Trust Women”. Over the past 50 years 500,000 lives in Scotland have been lost to abortion. The petitions were in 5 boxes and there were 5 empty prams, each representing 100,000 lives lost. See video below:

Nurses Supporting Abortion? Not In My Name

March 16, 2018

Nurse or nursing student? Please sign the letter against any RCN move to support the introduction of abortion on demand, for any reason.

Janet Davies, the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nurses (RCN), has announced that a panel of RCN staff and members will be deciding on a positioning statement for the RCN on the complete removal of all legal restriction and sanctions regarding abortion. If these measures were to be implemented, it would mean the introduction of abortion on demand, for any reason, to at least 28 weeks and possibly up to birth. Ann Furedi, the CEO of abortion provider BPAS, who are running the campaign to ‘decriminalise’ abortion, has made it clear that they are aiming for the latter, the introduction of abortion up to birth. The Royal College of Midwives’ position in support of ‘decriminalisation’, which saw a large public backlash when it was adopted, has subsequently been used extensively by abortion provider BPAS as a key plank in their political lobbying for the introduction of abortion, on demand, for any reason up to birth. Ahead of this panel deciding the position, the RCN are running a ‘survey’ of the RCN membership which does not allow for members of the RCN to vote on the specific wording of the final positioning statement. It instead asks a single question on whether members support or oppose the broad concept of ‘decriminalisation’ and only commits that members’ input will ‘inform’ the work that will lead to the final position this panel will decide on. If you are a nurse or nursing student, please take action by putting your name to the public joint letter (link below) to the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nurses, Janet Davies, to voice your concern about this extreme move.
