A 74-year-old woman has been arrested near a Glasgow hospital, marking the first case under Scotland's new "buffer zone law." She was subsequently charged under the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act.

Police Scotland said they received a report last week about people gathered close to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where abortions are provided, according to Sky News. Officers found a sign bearing the words "coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want," which the arrested woman had allegedly been holding.

The police arrested her and removed the sign from the area.

It is not the OP's fault. But the headline from the article is poorly worded.

When I first read the headline I thought, "Why is Vance criticizing that poor, little, old lady?!"

Maybe it is just me, but I saw nothing offensive about the lady's sign.
