This announcement today reinforces further the existence of a stifling, misogynistic undercurrent (ha! not so 'under') in the UK. A deep-rooted obsession with DENYING women and pregnant people CONTROL AND EMPOWERMENT. Shameful. Shame. Sham. #PillsByPost
We can no longer stand by while women in #NorthernIreland are forced to travel to England for abortion care during #covidー19, despite the fact abortion is now legal in NI.
That's why today we have launched a telemedical service to send NI women abortion pills by post. #NowForNI
