"When I was growing up,” says James Bundy, “I saw Scotland as a tolerant country where the vast majority of people feel comfortable to share their views.”
But Bundy, the chairman of the Scottish Conservatives’ youth wing, says that today he’s not so sure. In November, he tweeted a petition entitled “Tell the UN abortion is not a human right.” (A UN committee is planning to name abortion as a right, thus putting pressure on countries to relax their laws.)
Bundy, an economics and international relations student at St Andrews University, received scores of responses: “You in the dark ages ya weirdo?”, “If only your mother had afforded herself of it,” and other equally generous and witty comments.
