Scottish Greens๐จThe US Vice President just LIED about human rights in Scotland!
Misinformation fuels the far-right; we won't stand by and let him get away with it.
(More info below ๐)
๐บ๐ธJD Vance just lied about a bill passed by Scottish Greens MSP Gillian Mackay
๐ซHe falsely claimed that people in Scotland were told that private prayer in their own homes would be against the law.
โถ๏ธThis has never been true.
๐ขOur bill created buffer zones to protect patients and stop the intimidating anti-choice protests that were taking place across Scotland.
โถ๏ธThis Act has never impacted private prayer at home.
๐บ๐ธJD Vance has chosen to mislead the public on this.
We need your help to stand up against far-right misinformation and attacks on human rights.
Please chip in today and help us fight back.
ABORTION RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

isotope239 ๐ฅธ๐ป๐บ๐ฆ๐ฃ@ScottishGreens For the Americans reading this thread, all that the Greens are trying to do is maintain appropriate buffer zones around clinics where abortions are performed. There are often private homes near some of these facilities and the so-called "pro-life" people will put banners over the garden hedge or yell at patients from their back yards.

Yelling at people over your fence isn't private prayer. Even if you are yelling "prayers" it's still praying at people and not private prayer

@ScottishGreens
@RedRobyn @ScottishGreens Exactly, the people who are against the buffer zones are being deliberately disingenuous.
Lazarou Monkey Terror ๐๐๐@ScottishGreens I couldn't give a damn what some Nazi Yank thinks, their values are not ours!
PeterTrue, but that crap filters back to folk in Scotland, and the gullible they believe it. Same thing happens down here (Australia); while smarter people understand the lie, the illiterati don't.
It's important to point out the lies whenever, and wherever, they surface.

AlexanderVI@irina @ScottishGreens he's a lying liar who lies. That pretty much covers it.
@irina @ScottishGreens this is the regime of lies I fear Labour is selling us out too! Even before Farage can.
Gord@ScottishGreens Fuck JD Vance
Gurre Vildskรคgg@Gurre @ScottishGreens Yes indeed, a very important distinction. I am not a couch.

Some background to this toot about Vance lying about human rights in Scotland ๐๐ผ

Winterbay@ScottishGreens There was a lot of weird falsehoods on his speach. Apparently it was also superbad for free speach that a man wasn't allowed to go around burning Korans to "protest Islam" as well.
Jim GibsonThon Vance boy's an eejit.
Even if our Scottish government had declared that we couldn't pray at home, most Scots couldnae hae cared less.
Also, what we choose to do or not do in our own homes has hee-haw to do with a daft dick from Trump's Gang of eejits
Listen closely, Vance baby.
Most Scots have no religion. So, not only do we not share your fascist form of white Christianity, we also share no other religion with any other fanatics like you.
So, jist p*ss off, laddie!
Leefeller Guy@JimGibson @ScottishGreens My respect for the Scots not being relgious, I did not know this about them, though they talk funny./s
The most recent national census (2022) showed that over 50% of us declared that they had no religion.
So, it's not that we have no religion but that being religious is a minority activity in Scotland.
@JimGibson @ScottishGreens Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated.
Had to see what was going on here in the U.S. "Slightly less than half of U.S. adults describe themselves as religious, while 33% say they are spiritual but not religious and 18% are neither. ... Over the same period, the percentage identifying as religious has declined by seven percentage points. " Gullap.com
@Leefellerguy
And, yet, the USA is replete with politicians who appear scared of being thought of as being irreligious, particularly (it seems from here at least), with respect to Christianity.

@JimGibson Yes, what is amusing, Christian allso Judaism, not necessarily practicing.

It's also just as likely that he's too stupid to know any better. Either way he's a moron, just like his superior.
Edit: I take it back. He's a complete loon and a Nazi lover. Good luck, United States. I hope you recover from these psychos.
