A charity providing reproductive healthcare, including abortion care, to over 100,000 women every year. We passionately campaign for reproductive choice.
Joined February 2011
This continued failure means that one woman every four days is forced to travel to England for essential healthcare. We are calling on the Minister to deliver on her promise as a matter of urgency. @heraldscotland https://t.co/zBSZHYQJge

The Scottish Government has been accusing of missing a six-month target to deliver “much-needed” solutions to improve access to abortion care.

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.

As Baby Loss Awareness Week ends, we reflect on the words of MP @BellRibeiroAddy: there is no hierarchy of grief. Every experience of pregnancy loss — miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion — deserves compassion and care.

So-called crisis pregnancy centres masquerade as legitimate sources of medical information in order to mislead and manipulate vulnerable women. Important piece from @BigIssue: https://t.co/maJlduTdkA

Crisis pregnancy centres which have been known to “misinform” women around abortion have become increasingly “professionalised” in the UK.

US extremist groups are funding UK anti-abortion protesters. This is foreign interference in women’s healthcare. Abortion is safe, but delays and misinformation put women at risk. We must protect safe access in the UK. Swipe through this post to read our full response.

📸 World Photography Day. A day we gathered with peers, 50+ organisations, MP's and advocates to call for the decriminalisation of abortion for women & girls. This isn’t just a photo. It’s a moment. A message. A milestone.

Abortion is essential healthcare, and an unplanned pregnancy can happen to a woman at any stage of her reproductive lifetime. There should be no shame, and no stigma.

Following the law change in England and Wales, there's an even greater urgency for reform in Scotland. We currently sit on an expert group chaired by Scotland's Women’s Health Champion and recommendations will be published in the coming months.

This is a landmark moment for women’s rights in this country and the most significant change to our abortion law since the 1967 Abortion Act was passed. Thank you to everyone who has campaigned alongside us. We did it.
