Scotland to get first private abortion clinic

The Scotsman reports:

SCOTLAND is to get its first private clinic specialising in “late-term” abortions because the NHS cannot cope with the hundreds of women requesting the controversial procedure . . .

Most cases involved women who wanted a termination for so-called social reasons where they did not want to give birth . . .

The revelation, which comes in the wake of a failed bid by MPs to relax Britain’s abortion laws, has sparked furious opposition from the Catholic Church and pro-life groups . . .
