For UK citizens or residents:
Apparently, #Abortion is technically not legal in the UK, even though that's one of these never-updated, not really enforced laws.
Still it would be good to officially decriminalize it and there is a petition for that:
petition.parliament.uk/petitio…
While you're at it, you might want to sign some other petitions like the one restricting sales of #Fireworks or banning #FosselFuel ads, they're all listed here: petition.parliament.uk/petitio…
HT to @celesteh for sharing the first petition! 🙏

So, abortion isn't technically legal in the UK. There are just a lot of exemptions to the law. Which means people do sometimes get investigated by law enforcement or even prosecuted.We all need to stand for bodily autonomy for all in this country. As a part of diversity tactics, please take a moment to sign this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitio…
Petition: Decriminalise Abortion
I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.Petitions - UK Government and Parliament
