Shameless bump to remind people to fill in the survey. It's really short and easy to do.

Thanks, will get on to it.

Am I able to complete the survey if I don’t live in Scotland?

Its one of the first questions, I’m not sure if selecting No will mean I’m kicked out of the survey? I’d like to think people elsewhere in the UK completing the form may make the British parliament buck up but that may be wishful thinking….

Yes - I have just completed it from Northern Ireland. Just click no to living in Scotland

Being pregnant has only cemented my views that any women, at any stage of pregnancy, should be able to avail of abortion services without judgement or harassment.

This is a Scottish government Bill, so nothing to do with British government.

Bumping to remind people, already done

@ArabellaScott It's not a Scottish Government bill - it's a member's bill, being brought forward by Green MSP Gillian Mackay, which is being supported by the Scottish Government
But being a member's bill is one of the reasons why it's taken down long to get to this stage..

Thanks, yes my explanation was a bit garbled! What I meant is this is not Westminster legislation.

Gah - can't edit on the app
post should say being a member's bill is one of the reasons - and indeed is probably the main reason - why it's taken so long to get to this stage

Yes, I realised that - I just assumed the results were not kept secret, and therefore it may give others ideas or get them to take notice if they hear how many people completed the survey who do not live in Scotland.

Wishful thinking most likely, but I’ll write to my local MP.
