The march is organised by an autonomous women’s steering committee but the march is open to people of all genders
The marchers will call for
- The right to abortion on demand (this means an end to having to get the consent of 2 doctors) up to the legal times limit.
- The extension of abortion rights to women in northern Ireland
- Abortion to be integrated into the NHS as an ordinary medical service
- An end to privatisation and fragmentation in the NHS; increased public funding to guarantee access to abortion
- Improved access to and increased choice of publicly funded contraception
- Clear, honest, comprehensive and confidential sexuality and relationship education for all children which addresses issues of consent and domestic violence
- A real 'right to choose' which also means the right to have a child free from economic and social pressure. This requires a living wage or equivalent in benefits, publicly funded childcare and an end to the stigmatisation of single mothers.
To join the Nottingham delegation on the march contact Laura - laurasterry@hotmail.com or 07966286629
We will be travelling to London on a minibus on saturday afternoon (this is a free service but donations are welcome). Space is limited so please get in touch as soon as possible!

I do agree that contraception needs to practiced especially in areas like the texas bible belt, BNP households & especially their corporate fascists banker buddies during strikes & depression areas like the Bushes & Rockefellers.
Here are some links from Brighton Earth First & Do or die for Herbal abortion with links to phone number for advice in the uk. Theses manuals say the herbs recommended are non toxic if not ingested internally but it is highly recommended to contact a herbalist before the attempting herbal procedures
Up until a few centuries ago this knowledge was deeply hidden in the uk due to murder & burning of thousands of herbalists or wise women. Also includes herbal info on nettles that are an amazing source of iron & vitamin c if picked as advized early then boiled & made into tonic with a

Not everyone has easy access to a doctor or a pharmacy, herbalists need recognition in health practice in the uk.
