LONDON — An infographic posted on Twitter by the Sunday Times Magazine has sparked controversy after people found it to be "***ist".
In an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon discussed (http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/nicola-sturgeon-if-the-miscarriage-hadnt-happened-would-i-be-first-minister-**w-id-like-to-think-yes-07m3btgck) a miscarriage she had in 2011, and her experience of being a "childless" female politician.
However, an infographic created by the publication to accompany the piece prompted a fierce backlash on social media. The infographic — entitled "Childless politicians" — showed six female politicians who do **t have children.*
