Just before Christmas, the abortion Minister - who, frankly, should be better informed - tweeted about a woman arrested in Birmingham for 'silently praying'. This was in a buffer zone around a @BPAS1968 clinic. Let me tell you about her group and what's really going on. (1/9) 🧵 
This group have been outside BPAS Birmingham South in @steve_mccabe's constituency since the last clinic they stood outside closed in 2018. They're not the first group to attend our clinic. The first were two men with microphones who called our nurses and women 'murderers'. (2/9)
The newer group led by this women have different tactics - but no less of an impact. They approach women, hand out false medical information, tell them they're doing 'ungodly' things. Their persistent actions have caused women to have panic attacks and delay treatment. (3/9)
Today, the US-based anti-abortion group 40 Days for Life will begin 40 day long protests outside 14 abortion clinics across Great Britain. All but 3 of these clinics are run by BPAS. We’re targeted for speaking out against this harassment, but we’re not going to stop. #BackOff
Around half of the women we see attend a clinic at some stage in the treatment. The tactics used by these protesters may not be violent, but they’re not peaceful. Women and healthcare professionals are often left alarmed and distressed by what happens at the clinic gate. #BackOff
Women tell us they feel uncomfortable, judged, and targeted as they’re approached by members of anti-choice groups. Our clients deserve access to basic healthcare without the fear of being harassed or frightened by these groups. #BackOff
Rita & Chaka are coexisting peacefully, on their separate planes. 🐕🐦🥚
Tom (finally) showed up, to give Rita some relief and take the afternoon shift. 🐦🥚🐦
Hey Gentlemen of the @GOP,
Be careful as you push legislation to force women into continuing pregnancies against their will because you think life begins at conception.
You know what else contains living material?
Your ejaculate.
You better not spill that seed.

Yep, I said “ejaculate”.
And fellas, we women are going to start having public discussions about your reproductive parts, but we will no longer refer to your genitalia with terminology that dances around your ego & sensitivity. We’ll be very specific. See how you like it?

We're at Ealing Council for their decision on bringing in a buffer zone outside the Marie Stopes clinic on Mattock Lane. We support a PSPO to stop the harassment of women. #BackOff #EalingMakesHistory
