Abortion Unwrapped

Our second event of the year will focus on abortion in the United Kingdom. 

 

The discussion will focus on challenges to abortion access in the UK including decriminalisation, recruitment and conscientious objection. So the conversation will be fascinating, but will require some trigger warnings!
