20% of women "might" regret a sterilization procedure, so the NHS often denies access. 1) The "regret" bogeyman is rolled out for any procedure deviating from social norms. For example, gender affirming care has an almost 0% regret rate, but "regret" is still used to gatekeep care. The rate of regret is not the factor. It is resistance to the idea people can choose not to follow the "norm". 2) People can choose things in life knowing they might regret them. The possibility of regret is part of our freedom. Only the person undergoing the procedure can decide if the risk is acceptable to them. 3) A life with regrets is not a lesser life. A life paternalistically shielded from regret is a diminished life. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/may/01/female-sterilisation-nhs-access-questions #trans #womensRights #ukpol

A manufacturer of the #AbortionMedication #mifepristone asked #SCOTUS Saturday to immediately restore full access to the medication, putting the contentious issue of #abortion back before the justices in an #election year. #law #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #health #medicine #AbortionIsHealthcare #WomensRights #ReproductiveRights #Republicans #ViolenceAgainstWomen https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/us/politics/supreme-court-mail-abortion-pill.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

In Campbell Town, central Tasmania, they have a statue of Elizabeth Furlong. She was part of a farming dynasty that helped introduce Merino sheep to Australia. I like the way the town commemorate socio economic achievement rather than politico military like so many do. And it's good that the woman of the family gets recognition rather than being erased and eclipsed by her male relatives. #Tasmania #lutruwita #Australia #Statue #Equality #Womensrights

#MarALago #Trump's Plutocrat-Bigot-Child Rapist power nexus Now in a #Democrat ruled state district in #MAGA #Florida https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/24/dems-win-mar-a-lago-gregory-00843333 "They'll steal the vote" You'll do #prematureCapitulation and not vote? "Both sides the same" You're an idiot fine with MAGA #fascism?

Violet Zulu, earned $40 a month as a house cleaner in Zambia. She was sentenced to seven years in a maximum security prison in 2024 for illegally terminating her pregnancy on her own. She didn’t see her two children or other family members for nearly two years. After word of her case reached international rights groups that helped her file an appeal, Zulu was freed last month. Activists say her story represents many women in Africa who take desperate decisions when facing barriers to legal abortion services.

Are you a woman? Is your mother a woman? Is your wife a woman? Sister? Daughter? Do you have a Granny? Aunts? Female cousins. Is your neighbour a woman? Do you have female friends? Are you a decent, respectable human being? Then there's no way you can vote for this. Spread the word. #reform #ukpolitics #womensrights

The far-right, anti-migrant Pink Ladies in #Kent are attempting to present themselves as a grassroots initiative concerned solely with women’s safety.
