The average prison sentence for a violent offence in England is 18 months. A woman who had an abortion without following correct procedures just got 28 months under an 1868 act- we need urgent reform to make safe access for all women in England, Scotland and wales a human right.

This case reveals bitter truth contrary to what some claim abortion is not legal in England - and you can be prosecuted for having one. No other healthcare procedure has such a status. No other patient group would be treated this way. It’s time to change law and trust women.

Congrats to our 3rd year creative and professional writing students for an outstanding showcase!

Today, a mother-of-three has been jailed for 28 months after using abortion pills to end her own pregnancy. No woman can ever go through this again. We need abortion law reform in Great Britain NOW. #TimeToAct

#Abortion should not be a crime. Today, a woman was sentenced to 28 months in prison after using abortion pills to end her own pregnancy. Join us, BPAS, The Women’s Equality Party & many others as we #standtogether to demand abortion law reform: eventbrite.co.uk/e/time-to-act-… #AbortionIsHealthcare

A creative writing course in 2 minutes. The best.
