Wondering what Abortopedia is all about? Join us 2nd April and find out!
Learn about the free resource for abortion activists in Europe.
I have one of @ciaraioch.bsky.social's arts and it brings me joy every time I come into a room. Her pieces make great gifts also.
Is it... Because their heads are missing?
Or maybe the ongoing cost of living crisis, wars and genocides, rising facism, cost of childcare, increasing rates of maternal mortality, etc. But sure, @independent.ie WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?
ps. Headless women are least likely to continue pregnancies
Spain 🇪🇸
"The Supreme Court orders Ayuso to open the registry of abortion objectors...The Community of Madrid is the only autonomy that has rebelled against the obligation to draw up a registry of health professionals who object to abortion"

📢GOOD ABORTION NEWS KLAXXON!! 📢
Luxembourg becomes (headline correction the third) country to put abortion rights in its constitution! While I am mindful that "legal" and "constitutional" do not equal "accessible" abortion, I will take ANY good abortion news.

It will be a long road for ALL people who abortion funding. each country needs to decide IF & HOW they will make funds available & to WHO. Meanwhile, the existing orgs funding abortions, incl @supportabort.bsky.social, struggle to raise funds - but help people without barriers or complex criteria.
Good news, we guess. But the largest abortion provider in Poland is still Abortion Without Borders.
“Iza was not the first or last woman in Poland to die for lack of a safe abortion. I hope there are no more,” Mara Clarke of @supportabort.bsky.social told AFP.

Purple background with white, green & yellow text sharing news from the my voice, my choice campaign - the EU voted no.
We have heard the news from My Voice, My Choice. While we love any abortion victory, there are still huge leaps to take. If you want to make abortion safer & more accessible for the women & pregnant people across Europe, please do sign petitions! But please also donate to your local abortion fund 💚
Join us!!
We very intentionally launched S.A.F.E. on Valentine's Day because we know that helping people access safe abortions is an act of radical compassion and love. Happy birthday to us!
Come join me!! The book is great - I promise
Is Europe an abortion utopia? NO.
January and 2026 can go fuck themselves. Rest in Power, you hilarious freak. From Canadian improve to Kevin's mom to Moira Rose you were a real one.

I have no words, only rage and tears for what is happening in the United States. My country, twas of thee.
Have any more? Let us know!
Ever been faced with someone insisting that abortion is dangerous? Have some answers from @supportabort.bsky.social
There has been noise around UK abortion statistics released last week & unfortunately a lot of stigmatising, incorrect nonsense. SO...
💚 There is no 'right number' for abortions.
💚 There are multiple reasons why a person has an abortion.
💚 It is a personal decision.

Lookit me! shouts male politician impressed with his own benevolance. You don't fool us.

It may be a new year but the old money continues to flow into Europe to take away our abortion rights. Now would be a GREAT time to support your local abortion fund.

And just like that, our Diane left us on 9 January. May her fierceness and compassion serve as an inspiration to all of us who follow in her footsteps.
Happy New Year to our wonderful SAFE community, to all of YOU and the amazing activists out there who never give up! 🎉
Bring on 2026!! 💚
Not sure "distressing" & "dehumanizing" are words we'd want near our abortion care...
"Ministers have missed their self-imposed deadline to put forward plans for an overhaul Jersey’s abortion law which has been described as a “distressing” & “dehumanising” system for patients."

And if you are feeling generous this holiday season, please give (any amount, any currency) to your local abortion fund. @supportabort.bsky.social or www.supportingabortions.eu is a good start.
Y'all, I love an aboriton victory as much as the next person, but please look at the facts, and realize that the very, very few abortion funds who are working with almost no resources and generally on volunteer labor are not helped by this false narrative that abortion is Europe is now sorted.
❌ Provide legal protection for people who self manage abortion with pills rather than travel to reach clinics
Also there's a massive belly on this person, when we know more than 90% of all abortions take place prior to week 12, when most people aren't yet showing. #EndPreggoBelly
