4 years ago I started my #phd at the @uofglasgow and today I submitted!!! 276 pages, 83,903 words, and only about a gallon of tears and sweat respectively 😅 Can’t wait for the next part of the journey…the viva! (PS I picked up all the paper) #phdstudent #abortionishealthcare

Yesterday we published a joint open letter (with Doctors for Choice UK and my body my life) that was sent to The Royal Society of Medicine. We felt that it was important to make this an open letter so that abortion stigma can be discussed publicly. The letter can be read here: 👇abortiontalk.com/news-1/open-le…

Thrilled with the new book cover design from Policy Press with co-editor with Kellie Turtle, Reimagining faith and abortion - a global perspective, coming out in a few months. The book challenges the assumption that people of faith are anti abortion.

Julie & I (Susie) are really grateful to Centre for Qualitative Research, Bath for inviting us to contribute a chapter to this book. The chapter is based on work we did Improving Health developing guidance on planning & supporting Emotionally Demanding Research (that eventually led to establishing this network💛)

Reminder: Abortion is routine health care.

Here is the total length of the anti choice protest happening outside of Queen Elizabeth Hospital just next to the maternity ward where patients are being treated right now. This is what it's like to walk past them. #BufferZonesNow
