@Docstockk @Madz_Grant Absolutely nothing will ever change my mind that women should not be criminalised for abortion, and that they can and should be trusted to do what's best.
English
People desperate to believe that a law has been passed enabling women to murder late term babies and then run around cackling wildly afterwards. This A) shows your low regard for women and B) shows you're incapable of reading things properly. That's the kindest way I can put it.
English
@BabyCowPatriot @mslizwills @Englishfunk99 @ToniaAntoniazzi Well for clarity, it will still be criminalised, but the abortion provider not the woman.
English
@millihill @mslizwills @Englishfunk99 @ToniaAntoniazzi So we decrimalise ending the life of your two minutes old baby, of whatever age or gestation it is born, it's not "right" but it's okay because it's a woman and woman cannot be murderers or criminals.
Listen to yourself.
English
Abortion rights are a reflection of how a culture views women. It was therefore very heartening to see last night's vote in the House of Lords and the amendment brought by @ToniaAntoniazzi - a vote not just for abortion right but for women as whole autonomous people.
English
@Docstockk @Madz_Grant Madeline, that is incorrect, the state will not be indifferent, it will be the abortion provider who is criminalised, not the woman.
Kathleen, there's not been much reasonable commentary on my timeline, but that's the magic of X (and why I rarely use it any more!)
English
@Madz_Grant @millihill The dramatic overstatement is the tell (on Milli's part). There has been plenty of reasonable commentary. And that's the kindest way I can put it.
English
@BabyCowPatriot @mslizwills @Englishfunk99 @ToniaAntoniazzi OK, here is an answer then. This new bill is not saying that later stage abortion is right. It's just saying it should not be criminalised.

@millihill @Englishfunk99 @ToniaAntoniazzi I am sure you will have seen many premature babies, 24, 32 weeks, Milli. How can you say that's not life because it's not 'born.' Why does that 32 week, fully viable baby have zero rights in your world?
English
@millihill @ToniaAntoniazzi Outside a medical emergency,
killing a full term child will never be `the right thing`.
English
@Paulius152 @ClrBlwrs @Allamarine @ToniaAntoniazzi A woman is not a 'location' that you can be 'inside of' or 'outside of'. The way you talk about the female body says everything.
English
@ClrBlwrs @millihill @Allamarine @ToniaAntoniazzi Geographical location of the human being, apparently.
I’ll never understand the logic of saying that killing a 39 week old baby is fine if that baby happens to be located inside a specific location, but not ok of it’s located outside of it.
Cerebral impotence.
English
@Paulius152 @Allamarine @ToniaAntoniazzi I would say that this woman needs mental health support and that criminalising her will help nobody. Refusing to decriminalise abortion for the vast majority of women based on an extreme edge case also seems petty and pointless.
English
@millihill @Allamarine @ToniaAntoniazzi Here’s one. Does this decision mean that women like Sarah Catt will not face any consequences?

English
@ScotFinlayson @ToniaAntoniazzi Yes. Any other way of looking at it conceptually erodes the rights of a woman over her own body. In reality, I also trust women to do the right thing.
English
@millihill @ToniaAntoniazzi What about the bairn.
Do you agree bairns have no rights till they are born.
English
@Allamarine @ToniaAntoniazzi Let's discuss a specific example of a woman whose done that, get back to me when you've found one.
English
@millihill @ToniaAntoniazzi So if a woman somehow kills the foetus herself just before birth, that wouldn't be a crime?
That seems worrying, although I can see that the bill would stop women whose pregnancies have terminated spontaneously from coming under criminal investigation.
English
@Englishfunk99 @ToniaAntoniazzi It doesn't remove protection if you trust women.
Also, life begins at birth not conception. That is unless you see women (as some do) as a walking incubator or 'host body'.
English
@millihill @ToniaAntoniazzi You can talk about “trusting women” all you like but decriminalising abortion removes protections for the most vulnerable humans.
And newsflash some of those lives are female too.
English
@Allamarine @ToniaAntoniazzi As I understand it, yes but not in the way you mean. It means a woman will not be criminalised for this action, but it means criminal penalties will affect the health care professional, not the woman. The cut off point for abortion remains the same.
English
@millihill @ToniaAntoniazzi But doesn't this bill mean a woman can terminate a pregnancy up to birth, without any punishment?

It is very strange to publish an article on the gender dynamics of mass shooters and not mention that the two "female" shooters used as flagship examples here were biologically male. Males commit more than 90% of violent crimes.
English
@KarAlba298631 @ShabanaMahmood Who told you that was the case? I think you just decided that based on no information whatsoever unfortunately.
English
@millihill @ShabanaMahmood Presumably any Afghan woman able to travel here has been approved by the Taliban to leave the country.
I would suggest this raises questions about their motives.
English
Please sign this petition asking the UK government to exempt Afghan women from their recent ban on study visas. This new policy closes down a potential lifeline for Afghan women. change.org/p/exempt-afgha…? @ShabanaMahmood
