bpas response to “Boycott 40 Days For Life”

bpas would like to express its deepest thanks to all those who have made donations on this site, set up in response to the anti-abortion 40 Days For Life campaign in the UK.

Staff have been truly moved not only by the level of generosity but also the comments from those who donated. To read the messages expressing support, from women who have used bpas services in the past as well as those who clearly care passionately about women’s access to those services, has been incredibly touching.

Every penny donated will be put towards ensuring that women in this situation can continue to access the best possible care and support.
