Now I know why Kruger declined to sign new clause I tabled to #PublicOrderBill proposing that women be able to access abortion clinics without harassment, supported by MPs of 7 parties https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/58-03/0008/amend/puborder_rm_pbc_0527v2.pdf
Out of step with public opinion and quite frankly disgraceful #BackOff https://twitter.com/mirrorpolitics/status/1541778555088011264

The G7 meets. We wonder (or we don’t) why in the global context, Women’s Rights are on the decline. Yes, it’s not a straightforward equation nonetheless see below.
Very important point thank you for raising this @KeeleyMP
I share my constituent's distress at the deplorable rolling back of women's rights in the United States.
@FCDOtravelGovUK must be updated to reflect the risk that the health care of pregnant women travelling from UK might be compromised by the change in law on abortion in USA

Arrived in London thanks to @Hull_Trains and @handhagency. Now @DeltaTheParks are off to see the sights. #londonexperience.
My main contribution in the @HouseofCommons Urgent Question that I secured today on the Far Right threat to women's reproductive healthcare rights following last week's regressive #RoeVWade decision in the US Supreme Court. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights @BPAS1968
Great to hear the Haemophilia Society's chair @Clive_Smith_ talking to @NickFerrariLBC about Sir John Major's evidence to the Infected Blood Inquiry just now. The language our politicians use matters and tells us how much they really understand about those they represent.
Ready for London @DeltaTheParks #londonexperience.
What wouldn't we give to have someone of Gordon's intellect, insight, integrity and compassion in the job now. https://twitter.com/labour_history/status/1541477992895074308

"If we can fulfil the potential and realise the talents of all our people then I'm absolutely sure that Britain can be the great global success story of this century. I will try my utmost...and now let the work of change begin"
Following last week's regressive US Supreme Court decision, today I raised the threat to women's reproductive healthcare rights from the Far Right in the US, UK and around the World.#RoeVWade #WomensRightsAreHumanRights
We need women to put themselves forward for elected office at every single level please! 🙏
Very pleased to meet with Rail Trade Unions @RMTunion and @ASLEFunion with @TUCYorksHumber this afternoon in Parliament. Important discussions re future of rail services to #Hull @Hull_Trains @GazJacksonrmt
'Incredibly bad luck' is being given out LBW by a dubious umpiring decision one run short of a century at Lord's - not having your life ruined by the state with infected blood and then seeing the scandal covered up for 40 years. @HaemoSocUK_PI

This is an important week @bloodinquiry when senior politicians including former PM Sir John Major will give evidence. I know many people have been waiting for this opportunity to hear directly from former Ministers for many years.
As we begin a week of hearings, today's witness is Sir John Major: Chief Secretary to the Treasury (1987-1989), Chancellor of the Exchequer (1989-1990) and Prime Minister (1990-1997).

Back in London for @bloodinquiry hearings.
Several senior politicians give evidence next week.
Tomorrow, Sir John Major gives evidence to the Infected Blood Inquiry.
A day many have waited decades for…

Articles today reflect on the settled nature of abortion in the UK. @BPAS1968 hasn't settled.
Attitudes to, & laws around, abortion are still underpinned by paternalistic, gendered and judgmental approaches to women, their sexuality, their expected roles as mothers.
Lots to do.
Good to visit the Finchley Central Summer Fair today - lots of local craft and food stalls. Made a few purchases! @Sara_Conway3 @alan_s01
John Major gives evidence to the Infected Blood Inquiry tomorrow from 10am. Press can contact @bloodinquiry to attend - hearings will also be streamed live on the Inquiry YouTube channel. @Factor8Campaign can assist with interview requests for all regions.
We are lucky to live where we are and recognise our American pro-choice colleagues face challenges we never will. But that’s no invitation to rest on our laurels - rather one to turn the UK into a beacon for women’s rights in pregnancy that influences change around the world.
And we’re not immune to increasing incursions on rights and privacy in pregnancy. Look how NICE recently sought to record - without consent - any alcohol consumed in pregnancy. Or the increasing restrictions on life-saving medication for women lest they harm a hypothetical fetus.
Progressive reform - and the successful defence against restrictions to the Abortion Act - hasn’t just happened by chance here. It is down to the commitment and co-operation between hard working women’s groups and championing parliamentarians like @liz_sugg and @DianaJohnsonMP
Agree on the huge difference between the UK and US on abortion.
But when our own Health Secretary recently outlawed safe telemedical abortion services after pro-life lobbying - reinstated only after intense campaigning - there’s no room for complacency.

Precisely 81 years after their death, five Czechoslovak airmen who were shot down near the Dutch village of Nieuwe Niedorp in 1941 have been reburied at the Bergen op Zoom War Cemetery.

Pediatrician here. This isn't about babies, because if it were, we'd support kids & families with health care, high-quality education, universal child care, reliable housing, access to healthy food. This is about controlling women's bodies.
Well said 👇

I was raped by one of my uncle's. I was 12. My Gran'Mere took me to Arizona to have an abortion. It was her youngest son. No one spoke of it. Staunch Catholic family. I'm 56. I am so thankful I didn't have to raise a baby that was a product of rape. RIP Meem.
I am an oncologist. I have had patients that needed to get an abortion to allow safe treatment of their cancer. Abortion absolutely is a part of healthcare.

Our statement following #RoeVsWade
How can it be a victory for democracy when every poll shows the majority of Americans support abortion rights?
You can never ban abortion. All that happens is that there is an inevitable increase in illegal, unsafe abortions.
That's what the Supreme Court voted for today. https://twitter.com/danielmgmoylan/status/1540361915590918145
A great victory for US democracy.
