   @kittylyst If recent years have taught us anything, it is that you shouldn't rely on past judicial judgements and institutional norms to protect basic rights. Enshrine rights like abortion explicitly in law in plain language which is not arguable as to interpretation.

     A reminder that #abortion is *not* legal in Great Britain & requires "nod and an wink" consent from 2 doctors - https://observer.co.uk/news/national/article/police-could-search-homes-and-seize-phones-after-sudden-pregnancy-loss - and that the Truss Cabinet had, for the first time since the 1970s, a majority of forced-birth advocates.

     #UK folks may wish to write to their MP & suggest that Parliament do something about this state of affairs. I would be rather concerned with what an in-thrall-to-the-US Reform govt might do in 2029. Oh, and #ACAB of course.
