Our friends and colleagues at @All4Choice and @a4cderry are stepping up where the powers that be have failed. If you need an abortion or know someone who does, get in touch. You do not have to go to England.
We are announcing we will openly facilitate women & pregnant people’s access to telemedicine in NI with our partners @abortionpil @WomenHelpOrg until @niogov & @healthdpt decide to end their continued breach of human rights. #TelemedicineNow4NI #stayhome

This round up by @BrandonLewis has a picture of US at Stormont along with @belfemnet @RallyforChoice @ReclaimAgenda @RTNBelfast @NUS_USI saying he's introduced a new framework for abortion. A framework, not access. He still says get on a plane. The neck! #ThisIsAnSOS
A year ago today, @BorisJohnson asked me to serve as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. Here’s just some of the things we have been delivering for the people of NI over the past year 👇

Virtual march for Choice for #ARCMarch20 It's not good enough that people still have to travel, the waiting period remains nonsense, and we need proper services commissioned in the North. We deserve #CareAtHome (Pic from last year's Rally for Choice)

“I was told I would have to take a ferry, take the pill in the clinic in the morning, then take the other pill and then get the ferry home.. What is happening to women in Northern Ireland is inhumane.. [this] is not what should be happening in 2020.” https://t.co/qKJKXEenK2

Dereliction of duty by @BrandonLewis Your office was duty bound to bring in these services by 31st March. Instead on 6th April it's still not done and you insist we travel by ferry in the midst of a pandemic. This violates CEDAW and just basic human decency.

The @NIOgov is repeatedly, and regularly, tweeting that abortion services are available in England. Services are available by taking an 8 hour ferry, having no hotel or cafe to go to, treatment at one of the 75% of clinics still open, then an 8 hour ferry back.

We knew the 3 day wait would be a problem. It is. The 12 week limit is proving a really big issue. A rigid timelimit that's too early. Please don't repeat this mistake in NI. And 14 weeks is hardly better. Gestation limits limit care. Full stop.
Mary Favier highlights the flaws in the provision in RoI particularly the 3 days wait and 12 week limit. She says people are still having to travel to GB for abortion care because of restrictive provision.

Do @iresimpsonsfans ever stop being absolutely class acts? No, no they do not. Support @masi_asylum with a jumper (and just generally!)
