Perthshire domestic abuse survivor Nicola Murray has spoke of the “emotional” moment she found out that her proposed new law to protect women who suffer miscarriages as a result of domestic violence had made the next stage.
The brainchild of Nicola Murray, ‘Brodie’s Law’ was given the support by members of the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee on Wednesday to take it one step closer to reality.
