As feminists, we want every woman to have a real right to choose - whether to have, or not to have, a child. This event is aimed at feminist activists, trade unionists, students, school students and others who want to campaign for the right to choose. Come and learn more about the historical and current situation, develop campaigning skills, and get involved in a militant pro-choice campaign.
Sessions:
* How to campaign: practical workshop
* Imperialism and Motherhood - race, empire and reproductive freedoms
* Getting your message across: making the pro-choice case
* The current situation: NHS, the law, state provision, internationally
* Planning for a national day of action

Will you include all feminists?

Would it be okay if we at Live & Let Live! who are socialist / libertarian/ prolife feminists
test your announcement on Feminst Fightback website that
"but we seek to involve socialist and feminists of different viewpoints in
discussing ideas and building an activist movement"?
Does this mean you want to involve feminists with a prolife viewpoint?
We seek to work with feminists from all persuasions to find common ground
to fight for the rights of ALL women. By building a dialiogue between people
of differing views we can create a broader front fighting for equality and
reproductive rights.
With regard to hybrid human / animals I agree with the above comments,
its sick science and probably won't work.
From a Consistent Prolife Ethic point of view the whole business is unethical
and smacks of money making for big corporations
