Tomorrow morning!!!!!

Ahem.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY! Here's some ways to celebrate women and support abortions.

This #IWD the QUEENS of @aborcyjnydream.bsky.social are sticking it to the patriarchy by opening the first abortion clinic in Poland, located across the street from Polish Parliament. Read more: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m... Donate: cause.lundadonate.org/aborcyjnydre...

Glad USians are learning about the models of efficient, safe solutions to restricted abortion access that have long existed in other parts of the world. #AbortionWithoutBorders #AbortionPillsForever www.revaluingcare.org/feminist-abo...

THIS is what solidarity looks like. The full £10 cost of this exclusive pin by Rebecca Strickson will be donated to @supportabort.bsky.social (SAFE) and ASN. Get a gorgeous pin, fund abortions. Our thanks to Black and Beech!! blackandbeech.com/collections/...

I had a great time talking to I.G. Advisors on their Fixing the Philanthropic Flow podcast. Give a listen for my stories about how online dating is great preparation for a career in fundraising and how cats have a lot to teach us about overcoming imposter syndrome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDXG...

Good news: Sweden to allow home abortions & midwives to prescribe pills Bad news: "As soon as medical abortion at home is considered a safe procedure" How much more proof do they need than what FIGO, WHO and many other orgs and groups have already provided?? www.euractiv.com/section/heal...

Top lines from @sianushka.bsky.social's advice on surviving the next 4 years: 1 Be outraged about policy impact, not media gossip 2 Put your energies into supporting issues where you can make some difference 3. Don't let US news blind you to the issues at home sianushka.substack.com/p/how-to-sur...

Come here me, Patricia Lohr from @bpas.bsky.social and representatives from @ippf.bsky.social talk about abortion after 13 weeks. Date: Monday 10th March Time: 13:00-14:00 GMT Register here: bit.ly/3F22lru

Abortion on demand, full stop. No need for "in case of" or "unless" but especially no "rape exceptions." Because how does one PROVE rape? Surely if we're at the point of only "allowing" abortion for rape, society has stopped trusting women. www.jezebel.com/west-virgini...

The death penalty for women who have abortions. #WhatProLifeLooksLike www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Now on @supportabort.bsky.social's website, our guide on how to report on abortion factually and without stigma. Written for the Dutch context, it has more universal appeal www.supportingabortions.eu/news-and-res...

Use technology? Have 5 minutes? @commonknowledge.coop and Multitudes Foundation are environmental, social and economic justice fighters to fill out this survey about our unmet tech needs. commonknowledge.coop/unmet-techno...

"Statistically, white women—not Black people—benefit the most from diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives." Even in DEI, there is not, you know, DEI. Source @therootdotcom.bsky.social, www.theroot.com/ways-donald-...

I mean, I'd like to see @supportabort.bsky.social hit 1000. But 600 is a good start. Go on, give em a follow for news about abortion in Europe and what activists are doing to make sure abortions happen.

Megan Peterson of @genderjustice.us is a freaking LEGEND. #TransRigthsAreHumanRights #AllOfUsOrNoneOfUs

I feel bad for providers navigating changing regulations and laws in the US. But a lot of us doing this work do so outside of the systems that are vulnerable to these restrictions. Because we have to. #AbortionPillsForever #ThankGodForAbortion #BodilyAutonomy www.pharmacytimes.com/view/pharmac...

Calling all @rightscon.org people! @supportabort.bsky.social's Kasia is presenting!! Come join us and learn how tech can be leveraged to support cross-border abortion collaborations.

If you're in Malta, go see this play. You won't regret it

Too late for this year, but the creativite fundraising of animal shelters, zoos and let's not forget farms (who could forget the invite a goat to your Zoom meeting trend) brings me joy. notesfrompoland.com/2025/02/14/p...

Scotland is yet another example of good law, abysmal access. Going from Scotland to England for a medical procedure is NOT accessible. Excellent piece from @gemmaclark.bsky.social #AbortionWithoutBorders #HealthcareNotAirfare www.thenational.scot/politics/249...

With all the bad news, let's celebrate the GOOD NEWS that @supportabort.bsky.social turned TWO yesterday. We've come so far - and can't wait to take you further with us. We're building a movement to support abortion across Europe and you're all invited.

It's the worst possible outcome in the appeal hearing of Justyna Wydrzyńska (Abortion Dream Team & Abortion Without Borders). The court of appeals has ruled that the case must be retried. The ruling was in agreement with the arguements presented that the previous judge was biased. Here we go again.

A reminder that overwhelm is a tool of the oppressor. Block out their noise and make your own.

Where is the progressive left and how will we be funded? I expect I am not the only one working on abortion (or Human Rights, or climiate . . . ) who is up nights wondering about our collective future. An interesting take from The Nation. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Authorities in Russia's Vologda region are considering banning abortions in both private and state-run clinics. Yet another of many steps in Russia to push anti abortion policies - this follows many other regional bans and restrictions. www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/02/07/r...

I only believe in abortion in certain circumstances. Like when someone is pregnant and doesn't want to be. Not how much money they have, where you live, what language you speak, or what the law says. Image and experience via @shoutyourabortion.bsky.social #LawsArentReal #AbortionWithoutBorders

In an outcome welcomed only by churches, Portugal's parliament voted against extending abortion from 10 to 12 or 14 weeks but in kind of good news also voted down a "force women to listen to the fetal heartbeat" proposal. BUT SURE ABORTION ACCESS IN EUROPE IS FINE. www.rtp.pt/noticias/pai...
