Phone Friday - 16 May
Phone your MP on Friday the 16th May. You will either get their assistant or an answering machine - say you are a member of their constituency (give your name and address) and say that you are part of the pro choice lobby and would like them to be in Parliament to vote against any amendments to reduce the time limit on abortion. Tell your friends to do the same.
Even if you have already contacted your MP do it again on Friday just to remind them to vote against the amendment. Your MPs represent you not themselves.
