Please do not be taken in by anti-abortion lies. Help us protect women and their rights.

Around the world, even anti-abortion groups recognise that criminalising women is wrong.

No - the UK has not legalised “abortion up to birth". We will not let misinformation go unchallenged. An important mythbuster from us 🧵👇

In addition to Clause 208 passing, we: ❌ Halted an attempt to remove Clause 208 ❌ Defended telemedicine from being repealed ❌ Defeated an attempt to introduce a new offence for procuring abortion pills ✅ Secured pardons for all women with police records for abortion offences

Highlighting the untold levels of harm that the criminalisation of abortion is causing women and girls across the country, Baroness Barker made a strong case for supporting Clause 208.

Members of the House of Lords have voted to strengthen the abortion law reform passed by MPs last year. In addition to supporting decriminalisation, they have also supported a new amendment to pardon women cruelly criminalised under archaic abortion law. Debate highlights👇
