Despite global backlash after her first arrest, Scottish police again detained Rose Docherty for silently offering dialogue outside an abortion facility. In Scotland, “buffer zones” are enforced within 200m of every hospital, forbidding harassment, intimidation, and “influencing” of anyone seeking to access abortion services. I held my sign with love and compassion, inviting anyone who wants to chat, to do so – and stood peacefully, not approaching anyone. After her arrest this week, Docherty was held in custody for several hours. This is not a case about harassment, intimidation or violent protest – this is simply a grandmother, who held a sign offering to speak to anyone who would like to engage.
