This is also the first time the Scottish parliament has passed a law that impacted on a reserved matter (i.e. one not devolved) though. In fact they were informed well in advance that this was likely to be the case but pressed ahead anyway, so this is almost certainly a deliberate ploy by Sturgeon to manufacture such a conflict. Particularly as this new law is overwhelmingly unpopular with the Scottish electorate, given how it may negatively affect women's rights, if it were implemented.
