Pro-Choice protest 21st Oct


by Newswire    

For a woman’s right to choose

It has now been confirmed that the final votes on abortion at the Report stage of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill will take place on 22nd October. The votes are expected in the afternoon. This protest has been called at short notice to ensure that MPs and the media feel the strength of pro-choice opinion ahead of these crucial votes. Please encourage your trade union, women’s group, student union or other organisation to come along.

At: Old Palace Yard, outside Parliament, St Stephen’s entrance
Tuesday 21st October – 5.30pm onwards

The protest has been called to oppose further anti-abortion attempts to drive back women’s fundamental rights and support the first Parliamentary opportunity in a generation to improve the law for women and extend rights to Northern Ireland.
