Join us in standing up for reproductive rights in Scotland. We are calling for the Scottish Government to decriminalisation abortion and reform the Abortion Act 1967. Currently in Scotland, abortion is treated differently from other forms of crucial healthcare under the law, without medical justification. We must urgently eradicate this stigma; there is no place for it in modern Scotland. Prosecutions for abortion offences have occurred in Scotland in recent years. We need to future-proof now, against an increase in unnecessary prosecutions, as has been seen in England. Routine polling demonstrates overwhelming support in Scotland for women themselves to have control over their decision to have an abortion. 83-97% agree that ‘women should have the right to an abortion’, and yet we continue to be faced with an outdated, harmful system which is out of step with human rights standards. We need change now. Time’s up for outdated abortion law. #letschangetheact #decriminaliseabortion #reproductiverights #abortion #scotland #healthcare #womensrightsIt’s happening before our eyes. Time’s UP for outdated abortion laws. We must decriminalise abortion and reform the abortion act of 1967, in Scotland. We must modernise the broken system we currently have and protect our reproductive rights. Now is the time to speak up.
