🧵 let’s channel our frustrations and turn this into #40daysforrights If we do a few today we will catch up, then I will add a new idea every day.
Day one: if you don’t already, follow @backoffscotland here and on Instagram and Facebook. Even if you already follow, you could
like and share some posts to help boost their message. You don’t need to live in Scotland to boost their message and support them.
Day Two of #40daysforrights follow @BPAS1968 who share information, campaigns and even have some interesting podcasts to listen to.
Day 3 of #40daysforrights It’s well worth reading the academic research of @DrPamLowe on anti abortion activism. Her research was cited during the Northern Ireland Supreme Court hearing on #bufferzones Here is one to get started with cdn1.sph.harvard.edu/wp-content/upl…
Day 4 #40daysforrights the @hopenothate report on the far right is an excellent read. The far right are an inherent threat to abortion rights and it is very useful to understand how they operate. Lots of good Hope Not Hate podcasts too! hopenothate.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
Day 5 #40DaysForRights Polish abortion rights activist, Justyna Wydrzyńska still needs urgent support. She is facing jail. Here is what has happened to her and ways you can help asn.org.uk/iamjustyna/
Day 6 #40DaysForRights The U.K. is well out of step with @WHO guidance on #abortion care. They recommend full DECRIMINALISATION (page 27) Tweet/write to your MPs/MSPs and tell them we should follow WHO guidelines apps.who.int/iris/bitstream…
Day 7 a little earlier because tonight’s documentary is very important!
Day 8 #40DaysForRights tweet/write to your MSPs/police and raise concern about these threats to the Sandyford clinic in #Glasgow One says he’s happy to go to jail. In second clip the leader says ‘bring your brick’
Unfortunately it’s not hard to think of an action every day for 40 days. The religious right in Scotland are emboldened and they are coming for women and LGBT people.
Day 9 #40DaysForRights a great account to follow is @cabaretagainst they drowned out anti abortion protesters chanting in #glasgow yesterday and will be defending the Sandyford Clinic against a far right group next weekend.
Day 10 #40DaysForRights Follow @Abortion_Rights & in the spirit of Lent, why not forgo a coffee or wine this weekend and donate the 💰to them? abortionrights.org.uk/donate/
Day 11 #40DaysForRights It’s Saturday, why not have a movie night later and watch ‘The Janes’? The true story of a women’s network who provided abortion care pre Roe? Supporting films like this is activism ✊🏻 nowtv.com/watch/the-jane…
Day 12 of #40DaysForRights Read this article about how the well funded religious right influence education, abortion rights, assisted dying and how they shut down all criticism. Great info about Scotland’s Humanist Society too! heraldscotland.com/politics/23363…
Day 13 #40DaysForRights Take a banner for your social media profiles to remind people that clinic harassment is ongoing and that we need #bufferzones @backoffscotland
Day 14 #40DaysForRights join us on Facebook so we can share news, petitions, protest information and generally support each other. A group where we support the bodily autonomy of all people. 🏳️⚧️
Day 15 #40DaysForRights Learn about what a blanket abortion ban, Decree 770, did to Romania. All those orphanages and suffering were no coincidence! And 🇺🇸 Christian Right organisations are meddling with Romania again. #IWD23 feels meaningless this year

Day 17 #40DaysForRights Complete the Scottish Government public consultation to reform criminal law to address #misogyny consult.gov.scot/criminal-justi…
Day 18 #40DaysForRights make a feminist/pro choice sign. Someone will be collecting them for something good. Details to come 😉
Day 19 #40DaysForRights after hearing many stigmatising comments, this book on longitudinal studies on abortion access is well worth a read. Abortion regret is rare. Time to destigmatise healthcare.
Day 20 #40DaysForRights follow @AbortionBooks_ and help end the stigma through books. One of my favourite’s is ‘Unpregnant’. It’s so good that it’s banned in Texas.
Day 21 #40DaysForRights follow @JessicaValenti (here and @auntiekilljoy on TikTok) She covers the horror show that is post Roe America. These extremists and their money is active HERE and we need to know what they want to do to us

Day 24 #40DaysForRights get a copy of this, proceeds go to Abortion rights charities amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BYRDXBPH
Day 25 #40DaysForRights It’s Saturday night. Why not watch (or introduce people to) Dirty Dancing - a film about how you can only ban *safe abortion.
Day 26 #40DaysForRights Learn about dangerous, so called abortion reversal pills. These are pushed by anti groups and even some unscrupulous so called ‘doctors’ glasgowguardian.co.uk/2023/03/11/the…
Day 27 #40DaysForRights The clinic harassers pull down any supportive pro choice signs. Make your views known with chalk. They don’t deserve to feel comfortable while they harass vulnerable people
Day 28 of clinic harassment. Let’s turn it into #40DaysForRights Listen to this recent Guardian podcast about the state of abortion services in the U.K. and why some women and patients have had to travel huge distances to get care open.spotify.com/episode/5G6KTq…
