It has been a long journey to get here, and a lot of people have done a lot of crucial work to make it possible.

I would like to thank everyone who shared often traumatic experiences with me and ensured that we delivered the most robust Act that we could.

Safe Access Zones become law: no more anti-abortion pickets outside hospitals and clinics!

We have begun to commission abortion services in Northern Ireland, BUT we still don’t have all the services in the regulations. For more information on abortion in Northern Ireland visit our website👇

IS THIS REAL LIFE?
OR IS IT MISOGYNY?

We can't believe abortion is still a crime in 21st century Britain. That's why the most talented of Doctors for Choice have created our new musical call: Abortion Rhapsody!

Will the Scottish Government #DecriminaliseAbortionNow

That's what feminists want to hear from the next First Minister, not this rubbish transphobia from the US hard right.

Abortion is a human right. Abortion is healthcare. Human rights and healthcare for all!

[Pro Choice Edinburgh @EdinProChoice]

Across the road from us at Saturday's '#prochoice demo we saw the largest anti-choice rally we'd seen in years.

Agree with Nicola Sturgeon - the prolifers, the Gender Criticals, the rape apologists - misogynistic pushback against women's rights.

[Abortion Support Network @AbortionSupport]

We've looked at our client numbers and found we've helped 17 people from Ireland in just the last 2 weeks. That's *double the number of people we normally hear from*.

We urgently need your help to support everyone who is being forced to travel for care: https://t.co/aUGwLCBAoO

This was a moment of unity for our Parliament.

I am proud to have the support of MSPs from all parties.

Thank you everyone who has helped to get my bill to this stage.

[Abortion Support Network @AbortionSupport]

When say women can't wait, we mean: 4 people have contacted us from Ireland so far this week.

We mean: there are probably others who haven't heard about us and are worrying about how they'll afford to travel, or what will happen if they can't.

[Safe Abortion Action Fund @SAAFfund]

"Women in England & Wales are already denied agency over our bodies – it’s still technically illegal to have an abortion at any point in pregnancy..in the past 10 years there have been 67 prosecutions, & many more women investigated." 🇬🇧

[Catholics for Choice @Catholic4Choice]

This constant invalidation of our lived truths does profound spiritual harm and makes us feel powerless.
