Please do extend the limit for abortion. But what is this 14 week BS when our friends at Compagnon have an entire organisation dedicated to driving the people in Belgium who need to go to NL for care up to 22 weeks...😑

More good abortion news!! 💚

🇮🇪 When Ireland was talking about the 3 day reflection period in Nov 2018, women were flooding twitter with how long it took from calling their GP for an appointment to getting one. It was almost always way more than 3 days. Today, no more. 🎉

📢📢📢GOOD NEWS KLAXXON!!! 📢📢📢
Everyone has a favorite Novelty Afroman Song Making Fun of Cops, and I think that's great. The "Under the Boardwalk" parody about the deputy eyeing his lemon poundcake is a delight. So is the ACAB version of "Battle Hymn of the Republic." So is "RANDY WALTERS IS A SON OF A BITCH." No wrong answers!

I have one of @ciaraioch.bsky.social's arts and it brings me joy every time I come into a room. Her pieces make great gifts also.
Just lovely to have this turn up on St Patrick's Day from the talented @ciaraioch.bsky.social - my camera doesn't do it justice, it's so vibrant.

(and to realise she's based not much more than a mile away from one of my favourite cousins down there in Kerry 😊)

Is it... Because their heads are missing?

Or maybe the ongoing cost of living crisis, wars and genocides, rising facism, cost of childcare, increasing rates of maternal mortality, etc. But sure, @independent.ie WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?

ps. Headless women are least likely to continue pregnancies

📢GOOD ABORTION NEWS KLAXXON!! 📢
Luxembourg becomes (headline correction the third) country to put abortion rights in its constitution! While I am mindful that "legal" and "constitutional" do not equal "accessible" abortion, I will take ANY good abortion news.

It will be a long road for ALL people who abortion funding. each country needs to decide IF & HOW they will make funds available & to WHO. Meanwhile, the existing orgs funding abortions, incl @supportabort.bsky.social, struggle to raise funds - but help people without barriers or complex criteria.

Good news, we guess. But the largest abortion provider in Poland is still Abortion Without Borders.
“Iza was not the first or last woman in Poland to die for lack of a safe abortion. I hope there are no more,” Mara Clarke of @supportabort.bsky.social told AFP.

Is Europe an abortion utopia? NO.
S.A.F.E was launched by our co-founder @maraclarke.bsky.social to address the lack of abortion access for people left behind by govts in Europe. It's a struggle as the common misconception is that abortion in Europe is a done deal. That is NOT the case.
