Group appeals abortion ruling

-

A campaign group has lodged an appeal after it lost its legal challenge to the Scottish Government’s move to allow pregnant women to take abortionin­ducing medication at home.

The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) argued the decision by ministers over the use of misoprosto­l was “unlawful”.

Judge Lady Wise rejected the group’s arguments in a ruling last month after a two-day hearing at the Court of Session in May. The SPUC lodged appeal papers yesterday.
