Decriminalisation is not just a matter of choice; it’s a matter of justice.

Abortion doesn’t belong in court, and the time to advocate for decriminalisation is now. We are reaching out to all of you, our dedicated members and supporters, to take action by writing to your MPs, sharing your thoughts on social media, and encouraging them to attend our upcoming parliamentary meeting. We have prepared handy templates to make this process easier for you, and you can find them here.

Why Decriminalisation Matters: In recent years, we’ve witnessed an alarming rise in the number of women facing criminal charges under an archaic abortion law in England and Wales that dates back to 1861. This is an issue that urgently demands our attention. Abortion is a deeply personal decision, and it should not be a matter for the courts to decide. Instead, it should be a choice made by individuals in consultation with their healthcare providers.

Get Involved – Your Voice Matters: The more people we have actively engaged in this cause, the greater our impact will be. We need your help to make sure our message is heard loud and clear in Parliament. Here’s how you can contribute:

1. Write to Your MPs: Use our provided templates to compose a compelling email or tweet to your Member of Parliament, urging them to support the decriminalisation of abortion. Your personal stories and experiences can make a difference.
2. Spread the Word on Social Media: Share your thoughts and our campaign with your followers on social media. Use the power of your voice to create awareness and mobilise others.
3. Encourage MPs to Attend Our Parliamentary Meeting: The upcoming parliamentary meeting is a crucial opportunity for our cause. Reach out to your MPs and request their attendance. The more MPs we have in the room, the more likely we are to drive change.

Join Us at Our Parliamentary Meeting: We invite you to join us at our upcoming parliamentary meeting on 18 October, This event is a unique opportunity to engage with experts, advocates, and fellow MPs in a constructive dialogue about the pressing need for abortion decriminalisation. Your presence and participation will make a significant impact. Register to attend here.

Together, we can work towards a future where women have the autonomy to make their reproductive choices without the fear of legal repercussions. Let’s strive for a society where compassion, healthcare, and individual choice prevail over outdated laws.
