🗓️ Today is the Global Day to #DestigmatizeAbortions

1 in 3 women in the UK will have an abortion in their lifetime, and it's likely similar globally.

This #March28 we're proud to challenge abortion stigma alongside partners including Ipas, Plan C and Safe Abortion Action Fund (SAAF) 💙

Exciting news this week: MSI is now on Global Giving! Individual donors are helping us respond to foreign aid cuts, keeping programs like this one in Tanzania going for the young women and girls who depend on them. Will someone from BlueSky be the first to give? www.globalgiving.org/projects/bri...

A photo of Tracey Emin's 2002 artwork, 'The Last of the Gold', featuring advice that she wished had been available to her when she had an abortion in the 90s.

Quote from Tracey Emin: “I am sure it’s very much out of date now, but the fundamental principle is that there is very little information or advice to give women in that situation. So at the time I thought, ‘Why not put it across the gallery wall?’”

We're so inspired by #TraceyEmin's retrospective at the Tate Modern, featuring her 'A-Z of abortion'.

When Emin had an #abortion in the 90s, it was still highly stigmatised in the UK. So she created a quilt with advice that she wished had been available to her.

We love art that helps end stigma💙

Good news! 📢

Last night, the House of Lords backed reproductive choice as part of the abortion law reform going through parliament.

The House of Lords has voted in favour of this reform as well as pardons for those who already have a conviction.

We couldn't agree more, Damaris 💙

Thank you for covering this @bmj.com. We need to work together to help each other navigate this new reality.

The global gag rule is being expanded to cut US funding to organisations deemed to be promoting “gender ideology” or DEI efforts.

The Trump administration is expanding the rule to export its ideology worldwide, writes Carole Sekimpi @msichoicesuk.bsky.social

Today marks the start of '40 Days for Life' – a global anti-abortion campaign designed to shame and intimidate people seeking and providing #abortion services.

This is not ok.

Everyone deserves to access healthcare free from fear and harassment.

#AbortionIsHealthcare

Abortion bans are dangerous, whether people need an abortion or face complications with a wanted pregnancy. We're a global abortion charity and we've seen first-hand how bans endanger women around the world 💔

Everyone loves someone who's had an abortion, or will have an abortion in the future 💙

👉 Help us destigmatise abortion and share this post to show your support for those accessing abortion care.

Bad Bunny for bodily autonomy 👑

When the US Supreme Court overturned the right to abortion, #BadBunny retweeted Rep. Shontel Brown:

"Let me get this straight: The Supreme Court says states cannot decide how to regulate guns—yet only the states can decide how to regulate a woman’s body."

#SBLX

The evidence is clear: abortion bans are dangerous.

We've seen first-hand the impact of abortion restrictions around the world. Thank you @propublica.org for shining a light on the impact in Texas.

Thank you to the partners and speakers @epfsrr.bsky.social @ippfen.bsky.social @ipas.org @msichoices.org who joined us yesterday for our meeting on 'Safeguarding SRHR: Confronting Escalating U.S. Policy Threats and Global Pushback' - let's work together to oppose and resist the rollback of #SRHR

“Organisations that used to refer women to us for [abortion] services will stop doing that. So those women will have nowhere to go.”

- Sarah Shaw, MSI's associate advocacy director

New, Unprecedentedly Large ‘Gag’ On U.S. Foreign Aid Starting February 26, nearly all new foreign aid will be subject to the global gag rule. The largest sector to be affected is humanitarian assistance.

“A big part of its power is the chaos and confusion that it sows. It creates this culture of fear.”

MSI's advocacy director, Sarah Shaw, speaking in Forbes about the chilling effect of the global gag rule.

US Anti-Abortion Groups Are Quietly Targeting UK Women’s Healthcare American anti-abortion money and legal tactics are gaining ground in Britain, putting UK women’s abortion access and healthcare protections at risk.

“With the US-led anti-abortion movement funnelling over a million pounds a year into the UK, it’s no time to be complacent.”

Louise Knights-McCudden, Head of External Relations, spoke to Marie Claire about the anti-choice tactics crossing over to the UK.

Trump expands policy banning aid to groups abroad that discuss or provide abortions In addition to adding to the list of groups that will lose funding for providing or discussing abortion, the policy now also calls for ending aid to groups that embrace DEI.

"Just as the Trump administration has sought to cripple abortion access at home, they're now exporting the same playbook worldwide."

We spoke to @npr.org about the expanded 'global gag rule', announced by JD Vance at Friday's anti-choice 'March for Life'.
