National rally for abortion rights
Sydney, Saturday May 29, 2010
Join the Brisbane contingent
The global attack by right wing forces on women’s abortion rights is being felt in Australia. In Cairns a young couple faces trial and and the prospect of years in prison on charges brought under the anti-abortion laws. The so called “Right To Life” has chosen Sydney to host its international conference. This meeting of anti-abortion groups around the world may embolden their Australian affiliates.
On May 29th 2010, the first-ever national rally for abortion rights will be held in Sydney. Pro-choice people will rally to support the view that abortion is a woman’s right to choose. This is a chance for people across Australia to call for free, safe, accessible abortion on demand in all states and territories. As part of this, the rally will show solidarity with the Queensland campaign to drop the charges against the Cairns couple and decriminalise abortion.
