Stop the anti-choice offensive!

Please see the following press release from Abortion Rights regarding the very important pro-choice national lobby coming up later this month:

Public meeting 22nd November, 7pm — 9pm Room 10, House of Commons, Westminster

All pro-choice supporters welcome!

Speakers include:

• Polly Toynbee Guardian Columnist
• Dr Kate Paterson MRCOG, NFFP Consultant in Community Gynecology and Reproductive Health
• Laura Moffatt MP Labour Party
• Not-yet-announced Liberal Democrat MP
• Jacqui Lait MP Conservative Party
• Lorene Fabian AMICUS
• Rebecca Gill TUC Women's Officer
• Kat Stark NUS Women’s Officer

Following two years of relentless and misleading media campaigning, the anti-choice lobby has now turned to drive its dangerous agenda through parliament. Notwithstanding the defeat of a cynical anti-choice backbench bill at the end of October, the anti-choice lobby has pledged to continue with a Private Members’ Bill, an Adjournment debate and a Westminster Hall debate. The strategy is designed to ratchet up pressure for incremental restrictions in women’s crucial abortion rights – starting with later abortion.

This public meeting in Parliament, on the eve of the ballot for a Private Members’ Bill, is an opportunity to send a strong message to MPs that any attempts set back women's rights will be met with widespread and determined opposition. We look forward to seeing you there. Please email info@abortionrights.org.uk to register your place and for further details.
