Woman handed suspended sentence for getting abortion in 2024 Woman handed three-year suspended sentence after court finds her guilty of inducing her own abortion using medication in early 2024

Malta 🇲🇹 please repeat after us.

Abortion 👏 is 👏 healthcare.

In addition, the terrifying precedent where women may even have to PROVE their miscarriage is BEYOND comprehension.

Decriminalise our lives.

It's #WomensHistoryMonth. We're working with @engenderscot.bsky.social on their Let's Change the Act campaign. Here's a 2024 blog post from Lynsey Mitchell of the Uni of Strathclyde on the history of abortion law and why we need to fully #DecriminaliseAbortion

Robert Abela: No woman will go to prison for abortion on my watch Prime Minister Robert Abela says he would use constitutional prerogative to recommend changing jail term imposed on women for abortion to non-custodial sentence 

OR just decriminalise abortion so there is ZERO risk of any women / person going to prison for a basic healthcare service?!

Abortion is healthcare. It's not enough for it to be legal. It needs to be decriminalised everywhere.

Breaking news🚨🔔‼️

We are thrilled that MPs voted for abortion to be decriminalised in England and Wales- but the fight for abortion rights does not stop here!

A historic day for England and Wales, as MPs vote to #DecriminaliseAbortion.

This is a huge safeguard against the rollback of #AbortionRights in the UK. We are campaigning for the same outcome in Scotland. We hope that The Scottish Government will take notice.

Thank you, Carla, and huge thanks to everyone who worked so hard for this.
THIS is the kind of stuff women in the UK (& elsewhere) want to be fighting for (not who pees in what toilet).

#DecriminaliseAbortion

I’ve written to my MP to urge them to back NC20 — the amendment to decriminalise abortion and protect women’s rights.

Abortion is healthcare. It should never be a crime.

With rights under threat in the US, we must act now to protect them here.

#NC20 #DecriminaliseAbortion

Decriminalise abortion and make it a protected human right. Women’s rights are under threat from the far right. Nigel Farage just called our current abortion provisions “utterly ludicrous” – and others in power are paying attention. A vote in Parliament could ...

Nigel Farage says abortion laws are “utterly ludicrous.”
MPs are watching.

Nigel Farage says it is 'utterly ludicrous' to allow abortion up to 24 weeks The Reform UK leader was speaking about how he thinks the two-child benefit cap should be lifted and parents encouraged to have more children.

Here's why we need to #DecriminaliseAbortion in Scotland and around the UK: because the current law, which really only allows abortion by exception, is vulnerable to being eroded by possible future governments pandering to populist and reactionary sentiment.

An increasing number of women are being prosecuted for ending their own pregnancy

We stand with RCOG in expressing concern over the Police Chief's guidance on child death investigations.
This guidance leaves women vulnerable to investigation after pregnancy loss & at risk of criminalisation for using abortion medication. #DecriminaliseAbortion

‘Utterly traumatised’: anger at ordeal of UK woman accused of illegal abortion Calls for law change after ‘cruel and unnecessary investigation’ into Nicola Packer that CPS brought to trial

“This was a vindictive and brutal prosecution in which the CPS weaponised victim-shaming”

Abortion should be considered a health, not a criminal issue.
#DecriminaliseAbortion like Australia, Ireland, Canada and Sweden have done and show some common sense.

Thrilled to be in attendance at @engenderscot.bsky.social’s AGM this morning. The work they have done in the past year to improve the lives of women and girls in Scotland - in the middle of the cost of living crisis - is nothing short of phenomenal 👏🏼 especially their focus on #Decriminaliseabortion

I think this is something that many people in this country don’t realise. It’s sickening and the law has to be changed.

Petition: Decriminalise Abortion I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.

As A British White Middle Age Man... It's more & more obvious to me that we need to shore up laws in the UK after watching the #USElection2024

We have to codify EVERYTHING now!
