Almost 47k pregnant women who got access to appropriate medical care and didn’t have to fly to the UK. Shows that repealing the 8th has helped women in this country

Over 46000 times that women did not have to leave the country to receive medical care

That’s great. 46,000 women that were able to choose what was best for them. This is what it was all for.

Would have been the same number anyway just in a different country! Good for women 👏

Always proud of the fact that we voted for safe and legal abortion in this country. Glad to see the government voted to remove the three day wait too – another small step towards compassionate, appropriate care for women.

Is that up over the usual when people had to travel?

Hard to know if it’s a policy problem without comparative stastics from other jurisdictions.

If you’ve ever had any sort of close exposure to the realities of something like this, you would not be cheering and clapping. It’s ultimately sad.

Good. Each of these women would have been forced to travel to another country for empathetic healthcare or carry a child they did not want.

Fantastic news for people who support proper medical care, bodily autonomy, and women’s rights

And…..what business of anyone else’s is it besides the women who availed of the health care they should be afforded.

Medical care provided for 46,000 women in their home nation. Great!

46k women get basic healthcare. Thats great to hear!

I support the right to choose/ women’s autonomy. This may draw heat as there is no official data, but I’m interested in the socioeconomic proxies, ie rising numbers of abortions in tandem with the cost of living/ housing crisis (2019 (6,666) to 2024 (10,852). The devil may be in the details – the right to choose may also demonstrate structural inequalities around family planning.

Sat here conflicted over whether this is to be celebrated

Overall good for those who went that route and didn’t had to travel abroad or using a coat hanger or other things….
But I wonder is there a number of people who got multiple abrotions? That could act as an indicator for either mistreating woman or lack of accessible contraception or even the need for better sex ed.

This is excellent news. 46,000 patients treated transparently and safely without the stress of travel.
Some statistics here for number of abortions prior to 2019 (either abroad or by acquiring pills through the post). Around 4,000 to 5,000 each year from 2010 to 2018. Without proper aftercare or support.

46,000 forced pregnancies avoided by laws which allow women to decide whether they want to have a child or not.

Thank god

I would bet the minority are because the women just don’t want a baby. The majority are probably for the woman’s health, lack of resources to raise a child, or an unviable pregnancy.

Great. Children shouldn’t be brought into the world unless they are going to be loved and helped to thrive.

Jfc that’s bleak, were we really forcing tens of thousands of women to forcibly give birth just a few years back. That’s so fucking dark.

I was one of them and forever grateful I could access some medical care that was appropriate for mine and my family’s needs at the time ✨

hopefully no more women die due to being denied an abortion
*Another 147 were attributed to having been carried out due to a risk to the life or health of the pregnant woman.*

I would rather see women have octillion abortions than be forced to have kids they didn’t want.

Look on the bright side.
Mostly women we don’t want to pass on their DNA.

Repealing the 8th is the only thing the government has done to fix the housing crisis. Less houses needed in 12-18 years.

46000 choices made which the government didn’t regulate. Sounds great.
