I am proud to have voted for Stage 1 of @GillianMacMSP 's Bill which will enforce safe access zones around abortion services across Scotland. Every woman deserves the right to access health care without fear of shame, intimidation, and harassment.

My thanks to @GillianMacMSP for getting her Bill to this stage and I hope we get cross party agreement on the general principles later today. Thanks also to @backoffscotland and @humanistsociety for their determination to see abortion care provided free from interference

This is a key stage for my bill. Today MSPs will have the opportunity to vote on its principles ahead of amendments. This can and must be a moment of unity for our Parliament. I am proud to have the support of MSPs from all parties.

have always found @JohnSwinney to be a man of integrity with a canny ability to work within and outwith our party. If he decides to put himself forward to help unite the SNP and focus on what matters most to the folk of Scotland - he has my support🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
