Abortion Rights event

I will definitely be going to this. There's a lot of talk on the London Feminist Network about how this is the same day as a socialist feminism 'fightback' event. But for me this is a no-brainer ....

Abortion Rights Event (same day at Capital Woman)

Join us to launch the campaign for a modern abortion law
Saturday 3rd March

ASSEMBLE at 12.30 for a public launch event and press photo opportunity to spell out our message on the green outside the QEII Conference Centre, in front of the Houses of Parliament
QEII Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary Westminster, London SW1

Please download the campaign flyer here and distribute widely to help mobilise for this extraordinary event.

It's time the pro-choice majority was heard!

40 years after the 1967 Abortion Act, it is time to celebrate the social, economic and educational advances that reproductive rights have allowed women, and the end to back-street abortion. Yet 40 years on, women in the UK still don’t have the right to make their own abortion decisions. Women are obstructed and delayed and current rights are repeatedly challenged. In this 40th anniversary year, Abortion Rights is coordinating a major push for a modern law. We are joined by MPs, Peers, doctors, nurses, sexual health organisations, trade unions, students and pro-choice supporters in calling for a law in line with majority public opinion.

It is time for:

• women, not doctors, to make the abortion decision in the first three months
• an end to unacceptable delays in service provision

• an end to attacks on current rights

Be there and make a difference!
