The US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, leaving abortion provision to individual states, has seen pregnancy rights rolled back or ended in many parts of the country.
Restrictions on abortion are restrictions on freedom. Every American, regardless of where they live, should have the liberty to make their own decisions about their families and futures.
— Rep. Katie Porter (@RepKatiePorter) June 28, 2022
A reminder: Forcing someone to carry an unwanted pregnancy, or forcing them to seek out an unsafe abortion, is a violation of their human rights, including the rights to privacy and bodily autonomy.

Let me get this straight:
The Supreme Court says states cannot decide how to regulate guns—yet only the states can decide how to regulate a woman’s body.

To put it simply …
Supreme Court my ass

Understandably, there are concerns that a similar political move could happen in the UK.
Currently only women in Northern Ireland have protected human right to an abortion in law. I will be tabling amendment to forthcoming UK bill of rights to guarantee this for all UK women. If you want your MP to vote for it – as will be free vote- tell them! #nowforUK

The amendment wouldn’t automatically pass through parliament, and the MP for Devises in Wiltshire, Danny Kruger, is one reason why.

Danny Kruger was among the 61 Conservative MPs who voted against extending access to abortions in Northern Ireland last week. https://t.co/AKa1KocAxz

His stance brought immediate condemnation, both in the House and online.

To everyone saying: "It would never happen here"; please. Believing we're special makes us blind. Boris Johnson's strategy is straight out of the Trump playbook, and this is the kind of person he is trying to impress. https://t.co/1k6AWbjHPB

These people are so dumb.
A baby grows out of a woman's body. It is LITERALLY part of you – your blood, your food, your oxygen, your flesh. It's not a parasite women merely host.
What a baby has absolutely fuck all to do with, though, is a dickhead who thinks he knows better. https://t.co/HkAcB7gcbW

Fun fact about Danny Kruger: he was one of the driving forces behind David Cameron's 'Big Society', which decimated funding to social services, and then accepted £££ of taxpayer funding for his 'crime prevention' charity to do the same work, only more selectively and worse. https://t.co/dYlWWKFzOb
