Dear John, 

To every woman feeling fear, anger, and uncertainty today: we hear you, we stand with you, and we will fight for you. Abortion access is not a privilege to be granted or revoked by political leaders; it is a fundamental human right owed to every woman.

Why Does This Matter?

Abortion is not a matter for surveillance, restriction, or criminalisation. Abortion is healthcare. When abortion access is restricted, women die. When the third largest country in the world rolls back abortion rights, we all suffer. And when the rights of millions are disregarded, it weakens the progress we’ve fought for in every corner of the globe.

It's no coincidence that alongside the anti-abortion movement fighting to overturn Roe v Wade, the UK saw record-high police investigations into abortion-related offences and the most significant parliamentary attempt to roll back abortion access in decades. Anti-abortion activists are emboldened in their continued attempt to strip women of their rights, dignity, and future.

The fight of our lives, and for women’s lives, starts today. And BPAS will be relentless. Because we owe it to women across both sides of the Atlantic, and around the world.

How You Can Help

BPAS is committed to supporting reproductive freedom both here in the UK and abroad. That’s why we’ve decided to donate 30% of donations made through this JustGiving campaign to US-based Brigid Alliance. The Brigid Alliance is a referral-based service that provides people seeking abortions with travel, food, lodging, child care and other logistical support. The remainder of your donation will go directly to funding our vital work here in the UK, ensuring that every woman can access the care she needs, when she needs it.

Here’s how you can take action today:

1. Donate Now: Your donation will help protect abortion rights on both sides of the Atlantic.
2. Share Our Message: Spread the word on social media and encourage others to join the fight.
3. Stay Informed: Follow our updates as we continue to advocate for reproductive rights and raise awareness about the impact of restrictive policies.

Together, We Can Make a Difference
