    Tomorrow, a woman in England will be sentenced for ending her own pregnancy. The maximum sentence she could receive is up to life imprisonment - the harshest penalty in the world. We need abortion law reform now. Report from @HannahAlOthman in today’s @thetimes

    Today, a mother-of-three has been jailed for 28 months after using abortion pills to end her own pregnancy. No woman can ever go through this again. We need abortion law reform in Great Britain NOW. #TimeToAct

    We have received a hugely positive response and we are very grateful for the support. We hope it shows that this is not a controversial position - offering inclusive services is in no way incompatible with retaining the term “woman”.

    Factcheck: Maternity pay has existed since 1911 & is essential for women to make informed, supported reproductive choices. It is also currently at a level where 71% of women worry 'a lot' about money during maternity leave and 35% of new mothers skip meals to afford to live.

    NEW - Kemi Badenoch tells Times Radio that maternity pay has "gone too far." “We need to have more personal responsibility. There was a time when there wasn’t any maternity pay and people were having more babies.”

    The bpas Finsbury Park clinic this morning. No problems with anti-abortion groups before and now there are 45 protesters outside. This is a direct result of @ukhomeoffice’s refusal to take action - giving the impression that harassing women outside clinics is acceptable. #BackOff

    We are incredibly disappointed to hear that Maria Caulfield MP, who supports the criminalisation of women who end their own pregnancies, is the new CCHQ Vice Chair for Women.

    Alabama abortion law is utterly appalling. But remember- women in Northern Ireland still have no access to legal abortion care in their own country. We cannot condemn Alabama while women in the UK continue to be denied access. Email your MP now #nowforNI👉nowforNI.uk/email

    BREAKING NEWS: A mother who was sentenced to 28 months for illegally ending their pregnancy is to be released from prison. We echo the judges’ statements that this is a case that calls for compassion, not punishment, and are delighted with this decision.

    Today, the US-based anti-abortion group 40 Days for Life will begin 40 day long protests outside 14 abortion clinics across Great Britain. All but 3 of these clinics are run by BPAS. We’re targeted for speaking out against this harassment, but we’re not going to stop. #BackOff

    The fact that Boots can offer a 50% discount for "Black Friday" demonstrates how much profit margin there is on emergency contraception. There is no excuse for Boots to double the price once this "offer" runs out. 🧵

    In Parliament yesterday Jacob_Rees-Mogg referred to emergency contraception as an ‘abortifacient’ While we highly doubt that many women would take medical guidance from Mr. Rees-Mogg, he nevertheless should correct the record as a matter of urgency.
