SPUC has launched a resource ahead of the upcoming Scottish Election that will help pro-life people question their parliamentary candidates on their voting intentions. John Deighan, SPUC Deputy Chief Executive, said that the Scottish elections could have “huge consequences for unborn babies and vulnerable people and that it is vital that we all use our vote for a pro-life Scotland".

The 2021 Scottish Election will be taking place on take place on May 6th. Electors in Scotland will be voting for constituency and regional representatives.

SPUC has now launched voting resources which will help pro-life people in Scotland use their vote to protect mother’s and unborn babies.

Currently, the devolved administration in Holyrood has the power to change abortion law and any laws on assisted suicide.

SPUC is urging pro-lifers in Scotland to make the most of SPUC’s election resource.

The resource will help pro-life Scots to:

• Question parliamentary candidates about their voting intentions on DIY abortions, buffer zones and assisted suicide.
• Safely order and distribute pro-life election flyers.
• Share pro-life information with others.

Defending human life in the Scottish Elections

SPUC’s Mr Deighan said: “This election could have huge consequences for unborn babies and vulnerable people. Abortion and assisted suicide are both matters devolved to Scotland, and there is a real possibility of changes to the law in these areas in the next Parliament.

“It is therefore very important that pro-life people in Scotland consider the voting intentions on these matters of the MSPs they elect to the Scottish Parliament.

“The main threats to human life in the next Scottish Parliament are ‘DIY’ at home abortions, buffer zones restricting pro-life support near abortion-related services, and assisted suicide.

“We have prepared materials to help you question your parliamentary candidates about their voting intentions on these matters.”

Value your vote

SPUC is asking all pro-life Scots to please do all they can to be voice for unborn babies and vulnerable people in this election.

SPUC’s Mr Deighan added: “I know that there are many factors you may want to consider when casting your votes in this election, but I urge you to question your candidates on their position on life issues. This information will also help others in your area to make their voting decisions.”
