Dear John, 

With the election being on 4 July, it means there won't be a vote to decriminalise abortion for women on 4 June.

So this is a thank you email. To the 6558 of you that emailed your MP, and the 9139 of you that signed our petition. Thank you.

Our hopes are not dashed, just delayed. We will continue to fight for abortion rights in the new government. 
 

As we continue our fight, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you. If you are able, please consider making a donation to support our cause. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact.
 

If a donation is not possible at this time, you can still support us by following and sharing our mission on social media. Your voice and engagement are powerful tools in spreading awareness and driving change.
 

Thank you for standing with us.

The Cost of Living Factor Report

Thank you to all of you who took the time to respond to our survey on the factors influencing your decision to have an abortion. We know the emotional labour that can be involved in sharing experiences like these, so we really appreciated your being willing and able to do so for us. 
 
We published the results of our survey in a report that highlights the impact of the cost of living on women's abortion decisions. You can read the report here.
 
As you can see, we've used some of your quotes, though for brevity and to ensure privacy, we've often shortened these and removed identifying features. 
 
If you can, please do read the report, and feel free to share it on social media.
 
Thank you again for responding to our survey and enabling us to raise your voices loudly and clearly.

As ever, thank you for your support.
