Dear John, 

Today, it has been announced that Maria Caulfield, an MP who has consistently voted to restrict women’s access to abortion, has been given Ministerial responsbility for abortion care. 

Maria Caulfield is a self-declared “voice of the unborn” and former member of the parliamentary pro-life group.
 
Unlike any other area of healthcare, decisions regarding the licensing of abortion clinics sit with the relevant government Minister. Maria Caulfield now has the ability to block the establishment of new abortion services.
 
In the last year alone, Maria Caulfield voted to recriminalise at-home early medical abortions, and voted against measures to protect women from anti-abortion clinic harassment.  
 
Please take one minute to tell the Prime Minister to revoke this appointment before Maria Caulfield has the chance to jeopardise women’s access to safe, legal, NHS-funded abortion care.

Thank you, as always, for your support.

Best wishes,
 
Katherine O’Brien
Associate Director of Communications and Campaigns BPAS
