A US anti-abortion group is planning a series of protests outside a hospital in Scotland despite a law banning such demonstrations.
According to its website, 40 Days For Life will hold vigils outside the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow from March 5 until April 13.
A law passed last year by the Scottish Parliament outlawed anti-abortion activists from protesting within 200 metres of abortion clinics.
