Abortion Rights Emergency protest

Tuesday 20 May, 5.30pm
Defend 24 Weeks
No reduction in abortion time limit
Old Palace Yard, outside Parliament — opposite St. Stephen’s Entrance Tube: Westminster

On Tuesday 20 May, members of parliament will debate and vote on the anti-abortion amendments to the Human Embryology and Fertilisation Bill. The key amendments aim to lower the time limit for abortion. This vote is taking place much earlier than expected and with very little notice. In the limited
time available, it is vital that everyone who supports a woman’s right to choose does everything they can to show their opposition to any reduction in the time limit. Please attend this crucial protest — and encourage your trade union, women’s group, student union or other organisation to send a presence. A flyer to advertise the protest is available to download and photocopy on the website.
