When my petition in 2022 reached 167,690 signatures instead of debating the issue conservative MPs instead attacked me personally and also proceeded to call abortion a "cult of death" (thank you Rees Mogg you massive hypocrite, thats now on a flag and a tshirt) and it didnt go further at the time. I was so glad when Gemma Clarks petition was successful in the second attempt to decriminalise it. This is a MOMEMENTAL day
The Crime and Policing Bill has just gained Royal Assent and is now law. That means that women are now decriminalised from criminal law on abortion. It has been the privilege of my life to pick up the baton from my incredible friend Diana Johnson MP and lead this change - the biggest change to abort...
