    Nigel and co. Will soon put a stop to this. Reform Nigel’s right to refuse.

    To the surprise of absolutely no one. But probably worth the sacrifice so those 9-10 digit bank accounts don’t suffer.

    This should serve as a reminder to any far-right politicians looking to turn abortion into a battleground – birth rates can be increased via simply making daily life more affordable, not forcing people to give birth.

    Obviously it’s sad that people feel like they can’t afford children. However it’s a good thing women in the UK have access to abortions, we are lucky to have that choice.

    Somewhat of a guess, but I also know more and more women who are no longer willing to put up with the side effects of taking the pill for decades of their life.

    I’d rather risk an abortion than dealing with the mood swings, weight gain and all the other crap.

    Whilst the headline doesn’t address it, the article does cover that this is also because it is so much harder to get long acting contraceptives now. Women are having to go through a painful procedure, which is for a lot of people extremely emotionally difficult as well, whilst they are on 18 month waiting lists for the long acting contraceptives that would have prevented the pregnancy. Not everyone has £3k spare to get an IUS fitted privately

    Feel like this is click bait If you don’t want a child don’t have unprotected sex. it talks about how woman can’t get contraception so they’re getting pregnant more. Condoms can be freely bought from the store and they’re cheap.

    How the hell does this happen? Sex ed is a part of the school curriculum and contraceptives can be bought everywhere

    Lack of access to contraception is a pretty huge one too that shouldn’t be ignored.

    15 years ago, at 18, I could go to multiple free, walk in sexual health clinics around my major UK city for contraception.

    If that wasn’t for me, I could call the doctor for an appointment (not necessarily same day) and get the pill in a normal GP appointment. Also free.

    By 2019 I had to go to a special sexual health clinic at my GP that only operated at cut hours (at a very busy surgery) as the GP wouldn’t deal with contraception appointments anymore. Even if you had an appointment you’d end up waiting for an hour to be seen.

    By 2020 I started buying my contraception online from online pharmacies because I’m a fully functioning adult in a long term relationship with enough money to be able to afford it and enough smarts to find out what options I had privately.

    Most of the youth sexual health clinics from when I was a teenager are gone, and where they used to serve up to 25 year olds they now only serve up to 19, so fewer people can use the services. I’m not sure about their walk in availability anymore.

    The process to get contraceptives is more complicated than getting a dr’s appointment these days, you get 3-6 months supply at a time so you’re going through it 2-4x per year, the hours are all over the place if you go to your GP and the signposting that was around when I was younger seems worse than ever. It’s no wonder people are going without.

    It’s a blue ball economy and I’m struggling to get it up financially.

    Contraception exists, the pull out method doesn’t work people!
