The ministerial foreword in the Govt's recent vision for women's health said "the system must be reformed along with its core values so that the voices of this 51% of the population are heard"
Today's decision questions any genuine commitment behind that statement.

@BBCr4today
did a piece on

that was totally unbalanced. It focused on two women, one who regretted abortion and therefore supported the SC decision.
Studies show that the vast majority of women do not experience regret, but relief, following an abortion. Facts matter.

Just a note to say it’s perfectly okay to feel anxious about steps that bring us back to ‘normal’ when most of us have forgotten what ‘normal’ is or feels like.
You can want lockdown to be over but also feel nervous about what happens next, the two aren’t binary.

Both are harmful practices that create and exacerbate social, cultural and political beliefs that a women’s value is based on whether or not she is a virgin before marriage.

Shouldn't bite but I'm going to. What a terrible headline. My brother died when I was 15, don't tell me I haven't experienced love and loss.
I know he didn't write the headline but someone did and...why???
People experience loss early in life! People experience the care system...as children.
Pretty fundamental and life shaping experiences.
Where is the perspective?

The Queen met 87-year-old who has volunteered at West Suffolk Hospital three days a week for 10 years. Ron found out about volunteering when he went to visit a friend in hospital. He says volunteering changed his life and helped him following the death of his wife.

My coil fitting was booked at the end of November for the end of January, and have heard many similar stories. Women shouldn’t have to wait to access basic contraception, particularly given it is one of the most cost-effective and essential public health interventions we have.

Still reeling that there was no real debate on the NHS last night. Nor was there any debate about any public services. Education? Policing? Nope just an extended discussion on the price of earrings.
The NHS has been the most consistent top priority for the public since 1987.
6 and a half million on waiting lists.
MPs today said worst NHS workforce crisis ever.
Thousands forced to go private in a cost of living crisis.
