We had been under the impression that @sorchaeastwood.bsky.social had also voted in support of NC1 but she did not attend the vote in Westminster last night.

We are also hearing Sorcha removed her name from support of NC1.

Can you please clarify?

Credit where credit is due-we would like to thank @clairehanna.bsky.social and @columeastwood.ie for voting to support the decriminalisation of abortion for people who can get pregnant in England and Wales.

We are always available to chat about changing @sdlp.bsky.social party stance on this issue.

We urge all MP's to fully repeal Sections 58 and 59 of the OAPA in Westminster this Tuesday.

Please reach out to your MP and ask them to do the same.

This week we attended an APPG for SRH in Westminster to show gratitude to the doctors providing abortion care in the north and to implore MP's to support aid into Gaza and to stop Israel's genocide.

Initially refused entry-we made our voices heard.

Caelainn Hogan generously asked us to provide some collages documenting the history of Alliance for Choice Derry and our Maeve helped put together 12 panels documenting some of our history.

Yesterday on St. Patrick's Day we were honoured to be invited by Anne Crilly to remember Cecily Jackson on what was 300 years since she was burned to death in a shocking act of misogyny + violence against women.

We support the request for a marker or plaque to be put in place to memorialise Cecily.
