An anti-abortion protest was staged outside the maternity ward of a Glasgow hospital.
Hundreds were gathered across the street from the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) on Sunday evening.
Pro-choice campaign group Back Off Scotland shared an image of the demonstration on their Twitter page to their followers.
In the post, they also called for the resignation of Maree Todd MSP, the Minister for Public Health, Women's Health and Sport.

Organisers said: "No one should have to face intimidation when they access abortions or any kind of healthcare."
