- Our President, Dr Janet Barter, has co-authored an article for @bmj.com with Nicola Packer, @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social, The RCOG, & others to call for urgent reform to abortion law. MPs vote today on decriminalising abortion in England & Wales - a landmark moment. 🔗 doi.org/10.1136/bmj....
- A proposed amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill would require an in-person consultation prior to accessing an at-home abortion, pushing care out of reach for too many. We urge MPs to reject it and protect access to safe abortion care. bit.ly/4n7Tbvd

- We stand with RCOG in expressing concern over the Police Chief's guidance on child death investigations. This guidance leaves women vulnerable to investigation after pregnancy loss & at risk of criminalisation for using abortion medication. #DecriminaliseAbortion 🔗 www.rcog.org.uk/news/rcog-ra...
