Action on Abortion – tomorrow!

Rally for abortion rights: 2pm, Sat 29th Sept, Old Palace Yard, opposite Parliament.

Today is International Day of Action for Safe and Legal Abortion – it’s being marked by reproductive rights groups across the world.

There are lots of events going in Britian and Ireland this week too. In London, Abortion Rights is calling for:

Rights for women in Northern Ireland

An end to anti-choice harassment outside abortion clinics

Global decriminalisation of abortion

We’ll be joined by Green Party Leader Natalie Bennett; Jennifer Reiter from the Abortion Support Network which helps women from Northern Ireland access safe abortion in the UK; by NUS National Women’s Officer Kelley Temple and by our friends from UK Feminista.

Follow us on Twitter at @Abortion_Rights for updates and look for the #ActionOnAbortion hashtag.
