** We did it!

Last night, MPs voted overwhelmingly ([link removed]) to decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales. This is a huge victory, and the most progressive reform to our abortion law since the 1967 Abortion Act was passed.

As a result of last night’s vote, there will be no more women investigated after enduring a miscarriage, no more women dragged from their hospital beds to the back of a police van, no more women separated from their children because of our country’s archaic abortion law.

When we launched the campaign to decriminalise abortion in 2016, we could not have envisaged that within a decade such progress would be achieved.

Thank you to everyone who has lobbied their MP, donated to our fighting fund, and helped us to spread the word. Without you, this wouldn’t have happened.

As we've said all along, the decriminalisation of women isn't the end goal. We need a full rewrite of the Abortion Act 1967 to bring abortion law firmly into line with how care is provided in the 21st Century. There’s more work to be done, but for today, let’s celebrate a landmark moment for women’s rights in this country.
