🔍 The sexual violence Palestinians face under Israeli genocide has become well documented. 💔 But where are the feminists? Send a letter to the leadership at The Center for Reproductive Rights to urge them to stand with the women in Palestine! @codepink

Free, safe, local & timely abortion care is healthcare, and access to it for all is still being fought for in Ireland.

“At the end of his remarks, Mr. Hegseth received a standing ovation. Last year’s speech was greeted by stone-faced generals and admirals who made sure not to cheer, per the norms of a nonpartisan military.” The new norm. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

In his “State of the Force” address, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth focused on the culture war and accused reporters of “treason” over Iran war coverage.

Anti-abortion politics being revamped to attract new audience. There's a growing crossover between anti-choice organising/misogyny/far right =more confrontation, provocation, filming...The antis are getting louder & more aggressive. Abortion Rights commented on such after the 'life' march in London.

Tomorrow, the 15th March for Choice will take place in Dublin. That’s 15 years of calling for an end to this paternalistic view of reproductive rights. 8 years after Repeal, there are still too many barriers to abortion access. The Dáil voted to remove the three day wait, when will it happen?

Far-right groups and political parties have wealthy donors who are determined to drag up abortion wars. You may not realise that this is part of their agenda as they may never raise the issue publicly or they dodge answers on their abortion policies. But beware.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

Any politician calling to leave the ECHR is lying about what that will achieve. It won’t solve any problem or improve our lives It will make us worse off and remove our rights. Just like Brexit.

British PM Andy Burnham is Catholic by upbringing but his parliamentary record is firmly pro-choice. He has consistently voted to improve abortion access. Let that continue to be the case. One's religion is no excuse for denying other people their rights and controlling someone else’s pregnancy.
