7 years ago today Savita Halappanavar went into an Irish hospital, she was miscarrying, she was denied a life saving abortion, she died. Today we remember Savita.
#NeverAgain
🚨 Urgent Update 🚨 Today, a woman in England faces sentencing for terminating her own pregnancy. It is truly disheartening to note that the maximum penalty she could receive is life imprisonment, which is one of the harshest punishments globally.
Isn't it about time we broke the silence on abortion? Abortion is common 1 in 3 women with at least one in her lifetime, Abortion saves lives, Abortion is necessary. Abortion happens every day, it will always exist. Let's work to ensure it's safe.

⚡️POWER TO THE PEOPLE ⚡️
Poland's near-total Abortion Ban set to be implemented in law on Monday has been delayed by the extreme right-wing government following backlash from citizens.
The fight is not over until we see this ruling discarded as soon as possible.
Remembering Savita
💔✊🏽
9 years ago today Savita Halappanavar went into a hospital in Galway Ireland, she was miscarrying, she was denied an abortion, she died.
Her story was one that galvanised a movement; her face became a symbol of that movement.

Thanks to all the supporters and speakers who came to Parliament Square today to represent the pro choice majority at our counter protest. It was a brilliant noisy, confident turn out. Our bodies, our lives, our right to decide!
#AbortionRightsAreHumanRights
The march is off!
#AbortionIsNotACrime
We’re at the front behind the samba band. The mood is noisy and angry but 1in3 women have abortions and policing our bodies is the real crime!
‘They say no choice we say pro-choice!’
Thanks to the speakers, stewards, marchers and all the volunteers today. London’s solidarity protest was loud, vibrant and visible saying
#BansOffOurBodies

Sunak’s new minister for women Maria Caulfield wants to limit a woman’s right to an abortion and now claims protesters harassing women outside abortion clinics are trying to “comfort” them. Ridiculous appointment.
🚨 URGENT 🚨Today In England, a mother-of-three has been sentenced to 28 months in jail for self-administering abortion pills. Unacceptable! We demand urgent reform of abortion laws. Stand for

DECISION TO SCRAP ABORTION TELEMEDICINE BASED ON CONSULTATION DOMINATED BY ANTI-CHOICE CAMPAIGNERS
More information about how the telemedicine decision in England was made. It’s shocking that 9K of the submissions for the consultation were from one organisation – Right To Life
The pro ‘life’ lot are so base, commenting on pictures ‘why would you need abortion nobody would fuck you’ 💀

A Maltese hospital is refusing a potentially life saving abortion to a US citizen on holiday in Malta. Doctors for Choice in Malta have made the situation public at the family's request.
We won't sit by silently while this woman is left to die.
**VICTORY FOR WOMEN** MPs decisively voted for pro-choice amendments to the Offences Against the People Act, voting 208 to 123. This is a huge victory for women, the pro-choice movement and

Teesside woman, Bethany Cox, 22, to face judge over alleged self-induced abortion. This marks the fourth case in eight months, with only three trials in the past 160 years. DECRIMINALISE ABORTION NOW.

🧵 There have been 67 legal prosecutions against women in the past decade under the Offences Against the Person Act of 1861. It's clear that our legal system needs to be reassessed and updated to be fit for purpose.

"By refusing to act to stop this blatant and targeted harassment, the Met Police are not only putting Stella at risk, they are sending the message that it is fair game to harass women seeking abortions."

always do such a good job of covering difficult stories. This season they start an abortion storyline they contacted us about.

We're delighted to have
@SadiqKhan
support. The undeniable truth is that the UK IS pro-choice, the overwhelming majority support a woman’s right to choose.

A reminder that newly appointed leader of the House of Commons Rees-Mogg, who is "completely opposed" to abortion, including in cases of rape or incest makes makes money from the misoprostol

Is this the most tweet asinine of all time?
Becoming a parent does not nullify ones pro-choice status - In fact Women with children have more abortions than anyone else.
Guess what? I am 22 weeks, work for AR & have never been more pro-choice in my life.
