'Buffer zones aren’t ‘pro-choice’ – they deprive women of the choice to have a chat outside the clinic,' Rose Docherty said.​

Scottish police arrested a 74-year-old grandmother on Thursday for offering conversation to women contemplating abortions because she was in a so-called buffer zone, which criminalizes pro-life speech.


Just days after Vice President JD Vance warned European leaders about rising censorship at the Munich Security Conference, Rose Docherty was arrested in Glasgow, Scotland near the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for holding a sign that said: "Coercion is a crime, here to talk if you want."

Docherty was the first person to be arrested and charged under The Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act, which went into effect in September 2024, the BBC reported.

The law prohibits any protests or vigils from taking place within 200m or 656ft of 30 clinics offering abortion services in Scotland, but the law specifiesthat the Safe Access Zone could be extended if considered appropriate.

Shows where their priorities in law enforcement are evident. This peaceful Christian woman is arrested in what must otherwise be the low crime city of Glasgow. Let us see what a quick “google” search brings us:

Per AI:


The figures show the city has a crime rate of 830 per 10,000 population, soaring above the country-wide average of 543, reports the Daily Record. A total of 52,475 crimes were reported in Glasgow last year, this marks a four per cent increase from the previous year's total of 50,687.1

Yes you're right. Violent criminals are being released early because of 'prison overcrowding' but a granny is arrested for praying. A world gone mad, the bible does say that in the last days terrible times would come. Here we are. Even so come Lord Jesus. God Bless You
