Action Aid UK
The Government plans to lock up pregnant women indefinitely if they seek asylum in the UK after arriving by small boat or other so-called ‘irregular’ routes. But together, we can stop this cruelty.If thousands of us email our MPs now, they could soon vote to stop the government scrapping the existing 72-hour limit on the detention of pregnant asylum seekers. Will you email your MP now?

@cynthiarose Be careful that nobody can hunt down your period cycles online or on your phone. Keep it on paper and BURN it. This is advice for everyone who menstruates and might need an abortion in the future *especially if there's something wrong with the embryo*. DO NOT give your menstruation numbers to anyone, even a GYN. #Roe #roevwade #pregnacy #GYN #trackingperiods
