In Scotland, a new law has been implemented, making it a criminal offense for individuals to engage in activities that could "influence" someone's decision to access or provide an abortion within 200 meters of an abortion facility. This law, known as the "Safe Access" law, carries a maximum fine of £10,000.

The law aims to protect women seeking abortions from external influences and pressure. However, critics argue that it restricts free speech and religious freedoms, with some individuals facing charges for silently praying or holding signs outside abortion clinics.
