Creeping eugenics? It's probably just paranoia, but the Labour Party does have form for it - the Fabians, the Webbs etc...

Get a grip nobody’s forcing anyone to take it

karenp86.bsky.social•12 days ago

It is paranoia. Have you seen anything to suggest the pill will only be given to certain groups or is it free to any woman that needs it?

It won't help tackle health inequality, this is a very complex social issues and one slight change to something will not help everything.

Meanwhile, in America a woman was arrested for how she disposed of her miscarriage.

Lucky people living in a country care about women.

It will tackle unwanted pregnancies. Finito!

It used to be free with criteria in most England pharmacies via the use of a local PGD. However, when the NHs decided to remove most of those PGDs, the free plan b went with it. Cont...

A lot of pharmacists are now undergoing training to issue contraception through a pharmacy without GP again meeting certain criteria, but not all pharmacies currently offer this service.

This has been happening for years in Scotland. Do you agree with it or disagree?

Not making cuts that feed people would help but no, Starmer’s government is stealing from the mouths of children to make the rich richer.

British Labour is rife with pigs.

Good news. Always been a bit strange you can get it free from a GP or a sexual health clinic but have to pay for it in a pharmacy.

Eh?

Good move, but a bit late for NHS England, as it has been available Free Of Charge from Scottish Pharmacies via the Scottish NHS since 2008.

karenp86.bsky.social•12 days ago

So are you suggesting England shouldn’t bother because they are behind Scotland? Or is it a good thing they are finally doing the right thing?

agdun72.bsky.social•12 days ago

No I'm suggesting it's a good thing and right.. however, they were never as progressive as their Scottish Cousin in terms of public services..coming in late with initiatives.

mlco.bsky.social•12 days ago

Agreed

What?

Many people are pro choice over here and see this as a positive, feminist move. I imagine that Trump/vance and those ghouls would want anyone affected, or any supporters, jailed immediately

cqchiro1.bsky.social•12 days ago

They’ll probably send messages to stop immediately. They are sending surveys to Australian research institutions implying withdrawal of funding if they don’t conform to trumps 2025 regime’s goals.

Can we get one of these pills for Musks Mum? Do they work retroactively?

derekking.bsky.social•12 days ago

Shhhh. Better not tell the MAGAs…..

iskragoch.bsky.social•12 days ago

Wow, the NHS in England doing something right! Perhaps, they'll follow the lead of the devolved nations and make all prescriptions free for everyone.

williamcobbett.bsky.social•11 days ago

What do you mean by "free"?

Someone's paying for the drugs.

In this case, the English.

nannypcornwall.bsky.social•12 days ago

Every woman in the world deserves access to free contraception.

I'll probably loose a follower or two.

Do I care, absolutely fucking not.

I'm a scathing expletative loving vociferous bitch aka NannyPCornwall.

With the falling numbers of births and the rising numbers of Pensioners the Government need to think of ways to encourage larger families Increase Family Allowance and Child Care Allowances Better housing & Maternity Allowance without this the Future looks Poor
