Support a woman's right to choose: picket the Christian Medical Foundation

Feminist Fightbac | 21.01.2008 11:22 | Gender | Social Struggles | London | South Coast

Join the Feminist Fightback picket of the Christian Medical Foundation to defend the time limit on abortion and oppose attacks on the reproductive rights that women have won in the last 40 years.

Friday 25th Jan 4pm, 6 Marshalea Road, SE1 1HL London (nearest tubes London Bridge and Borough High Street).The picket will be followed by leafleting till 6pm.

The Christian Medical Foundation is lobbying the government hard over the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill currently being discussed in parliament, in favour of reducing the time limit on abortions. The Christian Medical Foundation was recently exposed when at least eight of its members gave evidence to the government Inquiry by the Science and Technology Committee into the future of abortion law in Britain which claimed that abortion harmed a woman's health - without disclosing their
membership of the CMF (see  http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/oct/15/sciencenews.medicineandhea
lth) The CMF also hosts the minority report produced by the Conservative MP Nadine Dorries who has also in the past introduced a Bill to cut back the time limit.
