BPAS fears 'abortion lies' in new Fringe play from anti-abortion group SPUC

A charity fears potential misinformation on abortion being spouted to an "unsuspecting audience" at the infamous Scottish arts festival. The concern comes as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival - which sees talents and audiences from across the world flock to the Scottish Capital - will begin early August. The play in question, called Do I?, is being brought forward by Parly Theatre, a Christian theatre company based in London, and Life Voice, an "educational" theatre group set up by the anti-abortion group, the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC).
