I understand there is disparity in the availability of fertility treatment across the country, however there are hundreds, if not thousands of women and men, who are desperate to be parents and simply because of money they're not able to. It would be an injustice to cut it to down to one cycle, it is discriminatory & the NHS need to make it a priority in looking after people who have both medical & emotional conditions that need help to conceive. The impact of reducing the number of cycles will cause further mental health, relationship, and work pressures notwithstanding the inability to afford to pay for IVF, and getting into debt. Many couples require more than one treatment cycle to achieve a successful live birth. One cycle does not fit all & limiting IVF cycles to one will disproportionately impact women as some women need multiple attempts to succeed & they will be excluded. This proposal is damaging & will exacerbate existing inequalities in access to healthcare with women. My daughter & husband have already put themselves through a lot, physically & emotionally to even reach this point.
Fertility is highly valued in most cultures & the wish for a child is one of the most basic of all human motivations and when attempts have the potential to fail it can be an emotionally devastating experience without having the worry of cycles being withdrawn. To reduce or cut the promised cycles the NHS needs to understand the psychological implications it will have on my daughter and many others that have already started this process. IVF cycles have devastating implications to ones wellbeing and the first cycle has highlighted the pitfalls & challenges of fertility which relates to procedures and treatments, and as such the correct information isn’t always imparted as it’s an unknown but has impactive effects. The first round of fertility treatments have highlighted the potential risks & drawbacks. The first cycle feels like it’s a trail and error exercise, getting the right medication dosages, monitoring the patient as each individual is different. Through no fault of their own a single-cycle approach could fail and this would be through no fault of theirs but moreover to common errors in the process which undermines the trails ability to measure the desired outcomes accurately before settling on the right course of treatment for that individual. In view of this, it causes heightened psychological distress. My observations are largely based upon my daughters experiences & my observations through her experiences.
Ruth supported: Ensure fair IVF funding: 2 rounds for all in Cheshire & MerseysideThere must never be a way that we can follow the direction things are taking in the US. Abortion must be decriminalised. Nobody should ever fear being mistakenly prosecuted for having a miscarriage. Come on UK, take the lead in protecting people at an incredibly difficult time, not further traumatising them.
Michelle supported: Decriminalise Abortion in the UK: Our Wombs Are Not Crime Sceneswe've seen an innocent woman in the news going through harrowing investigation and then years in the courts - for obtaining an abortion COMPLETELY LEGALLY. let her be the last one. this utter waste of police resources investigating these so-called "crimes" has to end.
aenor supported: Decriminalise Abortion in the UK: Our Wombs Are Not Crime Sceneswhy are men in government deciding what to do with womens bodies. laws around this cant cover for all circumstances.
Isabelle supported: Decriminalise Abortion in the UK: Our Wombs Are Not Crime ScenesWe've seen the horrifying effects of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in the US. It is more important than ever that pregnant people in the UK's bodily autonomy is protected, not penalised, in the law as political candidates rally with anti-abortion advocates and call for restrictions on abortion.
CJ supported: Decriminalise Abortion in the UK: Our Wombs Are Not Crime ScenesYou wouldn't let others make changes about your body. Why should you make choices for other people's bodies?
Gemma supported: Decriminalise Abortion in the UK: Our Wombs Are Not Crime ScenesThis disgusts me. I can’t believe the government is bickering about the economy when the bare minimum of women’s human rights are at stake. A man that I knew a couple of years ago didn’t know until he was 23 that men didn’t have wombs. This means that more education needs to be given in schools and sixth forms about why women need the bare minimum of not being investigated when they have suffered the trauma of a miscarriage. That women will be feeling survivors guilt, and it doesn’t help when a police officer comes banging on the door with a search warrant for your phone. I really hope this gets dealt with, thank you for sticking up for the women of the UK ♥️
Anonymous supported: Decriminalise Abortion in the UK: Our Wombs Are Not Crime ScenesSex work is work, complex, often challenging, yet deeply rooted in human history. For centuries, sex workers have fulfilled a vital, if unspoken, role in society…offering intimacy, connection, and relief where it’s often most needed. Without them, many relationships might not have endured, and countless individuals would’ve suffered in silence.
To criminalise sex work is to ignore its socio-cultural necessity and to endanger those who rely on it ; both workers and clients. Britain must choose progress: legal frameworks that protect, educate, and respect.
Ending stigma begins with truth !Sex work isn’t a moral failing; it’s labour. We must reject ignorance, resist harmful laws, and create space for dignity and safety.
A just society doesn’t erase sex work ,it learns to coexist with it, ethically and compassionately.
Joao Bosco supported: STOP the criminalisation of Sex Work!While the intention is to protect vulnerable individuals, criminalising clients and third parties will drive prostitution underground, making sex work more dangerous. By removing access to safe advertising platforms, screening tools, and regular clients, sex workers will be forced into more isolated, riskier situations, increasing their vulnerability to violence, exploitation, and trafficking — the very harms this bill seeks to prevent.
Andrew supported: STOP the criminalisation of Sex Work!Criminalizing clients doesn’t protect us — it pushes our work underground and puts our safety at risk. We deserve dignity, safety, and autonomy.
Bella supported: STOP the criminalisation of Sex Work!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
