I try not to talk about #ukpol too much, but this is important - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/08/mps-propose-decriminalising-abortion-up-to-24-weeks-england-wales-stella-creasy - I am forever shocked by the number of British people who do not know what the law of England & Wales actually says about abortion.

Abortion is currently *not* a legal right in E&W, and the current "nod & a wink" system would be far, far too easy for a future anti-abortion government to issue guidelines to "tighten up" provision. 1/

In addition, do not think that is a purely hypothetical. The late, unlamented government of Liz Truss had a majority anti-abortion Cabinet, for the first time in decades. They could easily have done just that, had they not been a mayfly.

If you're a #UK voter then please write to your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment if it is selected when the Bill comes up. (It will be a Free Vote so your MP's party, and your own political leanings do not matter on this issue) /2

@kittylyst and it's a really pressing matter

@sarahdalgulls @kittylyst I thought that only the Americans where crazy.
