This is the same SNP that adopted a resolution at last year's conference to enshrine the right to an abortion in an independent Scottish constitution. They can and must do better.

Extraordinary. The SNP allows a radical Christian nationalist, anti-abortion group called The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children to organise a fringe event at its upcoming party conference. Then they cancel it. Out of ethical scruples? Nope because of member and follower backlash

Margaret Atwood has described herself as a "strict agnostic", outlining her position in an interview with Bill Moyers in 2012. The humanist movement is a home to many agnostic and spiritually inclined people as well as atheists. Where do you stand on this issue? Drop us a comment.

"Prayer can be more abusive than just talking to someone, because you're saying God is complicit."

What an extraordinary discussion featuring Traitors star Matty Hyndman on BBC's Scotcast.

28 September is #InternationalSafeAbortionDay. To mark the occasion we got the whole team in green, in accordance with a worldwide tradition that began in Argentina in the noughties as a symbol of the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Free and Safe Abortion.

These Scouse legends went viral after arguing with a far right street commentator.

The two young people met the bigotry with pugnacity and humour, offering a masterclass in how to shut down disinformation on the spot.

Kudos to Juliet Harris, director of children's rights charity Together, for explaining so clearly and concisely how the current #ReligiousObservance Act discriminates openly and directly against non-religious children and families.
