British MP received death threats after voting against abortion law
In June, a British MP received a death threat and other online abuse after voting in accordance with her pro-life convictions. Dr Lisa Cameron, SNP MP for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow, was sent the threat just days after voting against a pro-abortion bill, which limits the presence of supporters and protesters near the vicinity of abortion clinics.
In June, Dr Cameron voted against the bill, which aims to prevent pro-life supporters from offering help to pregnant women near abortion clinics in England and Wales. Following the debate, she received vile abuse and death threats to her family on Facebook. Police in Scotland are now investigating the incident.
Dr Cameron said: “I am concerned by the actions of those who have whipped up hatred and toxic aggression online in recent weeks following from my conscience votes on abortion and [I am] particularly distressed to have once again received a death threat towards my family.”
Michael Robinson, Director of Communications for the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, said: “Lisa is a valiant MP who has spoken out fearlessly in defence of unborn babies.”
