Connie (left) and Mary (right) have been midwives for over 25 years, helping to deliver around 10,000 babies

The case of the Glasgow midwives has been heard in the Supreme Court in London.

Lawyers for Mary Doogan and Connie Wood defended the midwives' right to continue to work as Labour Ward Co-ordinators without being complicit in abortion. Mary and Connie have been midwives for over 25 years and helped deliver around 10,000 babies.

It will be several months before the judgement is issued. SPUC has funded Connie and Mary's legal representation throughout the case, with the kind donations of our supporters. [SPUC, 10 November]
