Scotland’s abortion law was found to be “no longer fit for purpose” - but there is still no clear timeline for reform. BPAS joined partners from the Let’s Change the Act coalition in the Herald to call for clarity on how the expert group’s recommendations will be taken forward.

Extreme right-wing protesters are in a stand-off with the RNLI in Portsmouth. The group, led by Danny Tommo, are waist-deep in the sea and threatening to go "under the water" if police try to arrest them. Six lifeboats monitoring. Volunteer rescuers giving up their evening for this.

Anti-abortion voices may be visible, but they are not the majority. The UK remains overwhelmingly supportive of abortion access.
