1 in 3 women in the UK (+ NB & trans men) have had an abortion. If you would like to understand more about the many different ways people experience abortion visit @mybody_mylife mybody-mylife.org

Much of the media coverage of #RoeVWade is platforming anti-choice activists promoting stigmatising, harmful & inaccurate messages about abortion. If you're in the UK and you are finding this difficult you can speak to @abortion_talk

.@abortion_talk is a helpline for anyone affected by abortion in the UK. It is staffed by volunteers who are pro-choice and pro-voice. abortiontalk.com

If you want to teach about pregnancy choices & abortion you can access our free online learning course & downloadable classroom resources now: learn.brook.org.uk

Young people often don't know they have the right to confidentiality & to consent to their own treatment. Our website supports young people to learn about their sexual & reproductive health and rights brook.org.uk. To find a service brook.org.uk/find-a-service/

.@RCObsGyn & @FSRH_UK has published this evidence based factsheet on abortion for teachers and students fsrh.org/documents/abor…

If you want to take action to protect access to abortion in the UK follow @backoffscotland & @SisterSupporter with their campaigns to create #BufferZones around abortion clinics to prevent staff and service users being harassed, intimidated and shamed as they go into clinics

If you want to join the campaign for #abortionrights follow @Abortion_Rights @EdinProChoice @Abortion_RCScot #WeTrustWomen @BPAS1968

If you are considering pregnancy options, visit a sexual health centre such as Brook, your GP or an abortion provider listed in this thread. Avoid Crisis Pregnancy Centres. They are unregulated and many are set up to deter or obstruct access to abortion

For anyone reading this who cannot access a legal abortion because they are in one of many countries where abortion is still illegal or highly restricted, @WoWabortionpill @WomenHelpOrg can provide an online consultation and safe medical abortion pills by post

For anyone who wants to help those in countries where abortion is illegal inaccessible please follow @AbortionSupport & consider donating asn.org.uk

Abortion in the UK is safe, legal and free. Let’s keep it that way #RoeVWade
