The Global Consensus is we need to do more to tackle Climate Change. And the reason why scotland has been invited, for the first time, to the un for the Climate Ambition Summit is because we are showing leaders
These decisions should not be between a person who needs health care and the government and politicians. It should be between a woman and her doctor, that is the ultimate goal right there.
