On Tuesday, MPs voted 379 - 137 to decriminalise women accused of ending their own pregnancies. This is a landmark moment for women’s rights and the most significant change to our abortion law since the 1967 Abortion Act was passed. Thank you to all who worked with us on this essential change.

Alongside @msichoices.org, NUPAS & BSACP we have written to MPs asking them to support NC1 - to make sure we solve the urgent issue of women being criminalised now, & make sure that any change to the wider law is properly considered & does not risk harming the very thing we’re all trying to protect

A decade of campaigning to change abortion law but we’re being silenced by TfL at our final hurdle. In a few weeks MP’s will vote on amendment NC1 to the Crime and Policing bill. An amendment that will prevent the traumatic events shown on our ads. Email your local MP bpas-campaigns.org

This ad isn't real. We mocked it up. Why? Transport for London rejected our campaign material because the advertisement "𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚". 🔗 Read the full story here - www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We're calling on MPs to do one simple thing... 📢 Support amendment NC1 📢 Ask your MP to represent you in asking for women to be removed from an archaic law that was written before women even had the right to vote. bpas-campaigns.org

"Liberation movements have, after all, often had to become broad coalitions of people who otherwise disagreed on most things to be effective." @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com on how the 75 MPs who #SupportNC1 may only agree on 1 thing - decriminalising women www.theneweuropean.co.uk/marie-le-con...

In 2020, Nicola Packer had an abortion - then was arrested and put on trial. Now, found not guilty, she hopes she will be the last woman in history prosecuted under England’s archaic law. Read the full report from @phoebeivy.bsky.social here:

This guidance is harrowing. Telling police to use menstrual tracking apps to investigate women for illegal abortion reads like something you get out of Texas, not the UK. There's only one way to protect women - #SupportNC1 to change abortion law. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Today an anti-abortion protester was found guilty of breaching a safe access zone around a clinic in Bournemouth. This was never about global politics, but about the simple ability of women to access legal healthcare free from harassment. Read our statement here 👇 www.bpas.org/about-bpas/p...

We welcome the news that the govt will expand pharmacy provision of free emergency contraception and work to end the current postcode lottery. However, if the govt are truly committed to improving access, they also need to reclassify this medication.
