Happy 5th birthday equal civil partnerships!!! Congratulations to all who’ve civilly partnered since 31st December 2019. And happy anniversary to us, @charleskeidan. Here’s to the next five years of civil partnership(s). Happy new year 🥳🍾🥂

We’re thrilled our campaign to decriminalise abortion for women and girls has been shortlisted for ‘Best In-house Campaign’ at the @CharityComms awards. After 10 years of campaigning — and support from millions — this historic reform removed women from criminal law.

Over 1.5 million children are affected by the two child limit, pushing families into poverty and limiting women’s choices. Labour’s budget will show if action will lift 350,000 children out of poverty. BPAS urges the government to remove this harmful policy.

Some of the replies to this… 🤯 A reminder that, at a time when women’s reproductive health and rights are under attack, Labour will always defend them.

We are delighted to join numerous other pro-choice organisations in launching #LetsChangeTheAct - a new campaign to reform Scotland’s outdated abortion law. To get involved, visit https://t.co/NK4yGzhd9R.

Today marks a big step forward for women’s healthcare. At BPAS, we’ve campaigned for years to make this essential medication easier to get — but there’s still more to do. Listen to our Head of Campaigns discuss the news on @BBCRadio4 (around 30 mins in): https://t.co/tibebqPzRo

New NHS data shows a sharp decline in contraceptive access. Contacts with SRH services down almost 48% in a decade. Funding cuts and service reductions are leaving women without choice. We need investment and innovation now.

Absolutely brilliant podcast with @beccasteinfeld on why we need a new, pro-choice, woman-centred, evidence-based approach to infant feeding, and how current policy sets women up to fail. 🎧 cc @CPCS_UniKent https://t.co/MH4gjYQkqE

An excellent critique of "breast is best" mantra from @drruthannharpur. Well worth the read. As she says "debunking mantras requires more effort than chanting them." In my view, it's beyond time that we applied scientific rigour to policies that are harming mums & babies.

If you're interested in debates about #infantfeeding, listen to this podcast I just recorded with the thoughtful @FrancoiseGirard for Feminism Makes Us Smarter. We covered a lot of (controversial) ground, so I'm sure people on here will have Opinions :-) https://t.co/EhWNvn5Wgx

Was our panel on the niche topic of infant feeding the most controversial at @acadofideas #BattleFest? It was definitely a fiery debate! Thanks to @Ella_M_Whelan, @Fox_Claire & @CPCS_UniKent for ensuring important issues like this get a platform for discussion.

Just to echo this - thank you to @Fox_Claire & @acadofideas for creating space to debate difficult topics that too many shy away from. Our fiery infant feeding panel shows exactly why this is so important and necessary. Here's to the next #BattleFest!

EXACTLY this. I wasn't going to go to synagogue today - but now I will, for the last service of Yom Kippur, Ne'ilah. Because it's right and important to not hide in fear - but to unite in solidarity and community.

“If British Jews are attacked, respect our dignity – and keep your agendas to yourself” - this prescient piece written by ⁦@KeithKahnHarris⁩ 10 years ago should be a guide on how to respond today to the terror attack on Manchester’s Jews

Paracetamol is the first choice of painkiller if you're pregnant and is still considered the safest choice of pain relief during pregnancy. There is no evidence it causes autism in children. Kate Brintworth, our Chief Midwifery Officer, explains more 🎥

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic –
