Women shouldn't be held hostage to a clump of stem cells.

From the Radical Women: the next Battle of Wellington at the Fertility Control Clinic, and then a pro-abortion rights protest on October 4.

Please distribute widely


The government bill to decriminalise abortion limits a woman’s right to decide to the first 24 weeks. For a post 24-week pregnancy, the decision would be in the hands of two doctors. Yet over 80% of the population wants full, unlimited abortion rights. The bill goes to the upper house on October 7. If we leave it to parliamentarians to decide -- without pressure from those they are supposed to represent -- we won’t win this. Now, more than ever, this voice has to be heard! In this critical lead-up to the final stage of parliamentary debate, here are two important actions to support. This is our one chance to get it right.

Come out to the following actions, and bring others with you!
