In Parliament, I spoke about the urgent need to change the law to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales.
BPAS retweeted
Women are being prosecuted under a law dating back to the Victorian era.
The law needs to change. And our MPs need to act.

Many of my constituents have contacted me asking me to support pro-choice reform to abortion law.
I support the need for change. This powerful article sets out why we need itšš
It is dystopian that women are facing criminal investigations for seeking medical care at the most desperate moments of their lives. This has got to end.
Thatās why I tabled NC1 - itās time for Parliament to support this changeš @BPAS1968

We support @BPAS1968's campaign for Amendment NC1 to the Crime and Policing Bill ā a vital proposal to decriminalise abortion and protect women from prosecution.

The treatment Nicola Packer was subjected to was abhorrent. Now we learn a senior officer raised concerns at the time.
No woman should be criminalised for seeking medical help in the most desperate of circumstances.

Abortion arrest: Leaked recording reveals police had serious concerns bbc.in/4dxv2cS
BPAS retweeted
In 2020, Nicola Packer had an abortion - then was arrested and put on trial.
Now, found not guilty, she hopes she will be the last woman in history prosecuted under Englandās archaic law.

This cannot be allowed to happen ever again to any woman. As @BPAS1968 say: "Members of Parliament have a moral duty to decriminalise abortion & end the threat of police, prosecutions, & imprisonment once & for all".

I spoke to Dr Ed Dorman, the surgeon who ends up treating Scottish women at @BPAS1968ās clinic
His big worry is the women who canāt manage the trip, and carry an unwanted pregnancy - for women with addiction issues, that can end in a baby taken into care

I visited a BPAS (British Pregnancy Advisory Service) clinic for the second time, and compared to my first visit, this experience felt noticeably more positive. The changes I observed at the clinic reflect the progress in the fight for womenās reproductive rights, even amidst the global challenges.
BPAS, the UKās leading provider of NHS-funded abortion care, has spent over 50 years advocating for womenās right to make decisions about their own bodies. Their main goal is to ensure that women accessing their services feel safe, supported, and respected.
BPAS is more than a healthcare provider; they also campaign tirelessly for progressive change, advocating the removal of women from the criminal law on abortion, establishing safe access zones and modernising the UKās abortion laws.
During my visit to the clinic, it was reaffirmed to me that access to this type of care is not just a healthcare issueāit is a matter of human rights.

Itās an absolute scandal that only one doctor in the whole of š“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ is trained in providing surgical abortion care up to the legal limit.
This means women seeking abortion >20wks either have to travel to š“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æ or spend days in hospital miscarrying. Disgrace.
