Is Europe an abortion utopia? NO.
S.A.F.E was launched by our co-founder @maraclarke.bsky.social to address the lack of abortion access for people left behind by govts in Europe. It's a struggle as the common misconception is that abortion in Europe is a done deal. That is NOT the case.

There has been noise around UK abortion statistics released last week & unfortunately a lot of stigmatising, incorrect nonsense. SO...

💚 There is no 'right number' for abortions.
💚 There are multiple reasons why a person has an abortion.
💚 It is a personal decision.

It may be a new year but the old money continues to flow into Europe to take away our abortion rights. Now would be a GREAT time to support your local abortion fund.

And just like that, our Diane left us on 9 January. May her fierceness and compassion serve as an inspiration to all of us who follow in her footsteps.
Last week a stalwart of abortion rights, Diane Munday, passed away. Most notably she was the principal leader of the UK campaign for the Abortion Act 1967. Her dedication will be a continued inspiration and pathway as sadly our work doesn't stop. Read more about her incredible life below 💚

Diane Munday helped secure legal terminations in 1967 and, aged 94, is still calling for wider reproductive rights

Not sure "distressing" & "dehumanizing" are words we'd want near our abortion care...

"Ministers have missed their self-imposed deadline to put forward plans for an overhaul Jersey’s abortion law which has been described as a “distressing” & “dehumanising” system for patients."

And if you are feeling generous this holiday season, please give (any amount, any currency) to your local abortion fund. @supportabort.bsky.social or www.supportingabortions.eu is a good start.

Y'all, I love an aboriton victory as much as the next person, but please look at the facts, and realize that the very, very few abortion funds who are working with almost no resources and generally on volunteer labor are not helped by this false narrative that abortion is Europe is now sorted.

❌ Provide legal protection for people who self manage abortion with pills rather than travel to reach clinics

Also there's a massive belly on this person, when we know more than 90% of all abortions take place prior to week 12, when most people aren't yet showing. #EndPreggoBelly

❌ Cover costs of travel and accommodation for people forced to travel within or outside their countries

❌ Make more countries provide abortion beyond the first trimester. Currently in Europe, there are SIX of those countries, and one is England, not part of the EU so not part of this fund.
December 22, 2025 at 10:09 AM
But what the fund CAN'T do is:

❌ Make more doctors provide abortions (refusing care is the main obstacle to abortion in Europe)

❌ Make abortion legal or more accessible in ANY country (other than by possibly paying for abortions for whoever meets the criteris of whatever fund is created)
December 22, 2025 at 10:09 AM
Countries will then have to opt in AND provide funding for it to happen. The fund doesn't exist yet, so we don't know what it will cover, for whom, or how easy or hard it will be to access. (Have you ever tried to access EU funding???)
December 22, 2025 at 10:09 AM
YES there was a historic EU Parliament vote led by My Voice My Choice. This vote will NOT make abortion available in all EU countries but paves the way for ANOTHER vote at EU Commission level. If that vote goes through, the PROCESS of making an EU wide fund to cover costs of abortions will happen.
December 22, 2025 at 10:09 AM
About to use BlusSky for long form because this story gave me a rage that cannot be contained by 240 characters. Spoiler: The My Voice My Choice initiative does NOT make abortion available in all EU countries.

Sex work is work, blow jobs are jobs, and bodily autonomy is for EVERYONE. Decriminalize (abortion, sex work, drugs) NOW.
