Back to the backyard? NO WAY!

Abortion Is A Woman’s Right To Choose!
Protest, Noon Sat March 13
Outside Parliament House, George St, Brisbane

Organised by Pro-Choice Action Collective Phone: 0400 720 757 (Kathy),

A Cairns woman is facing the prospect of 7 years prison on charges brought under Queensland’s anti-abortion laws. The Bligh government refuses to repeal the anti-abortion laws — allowing the agenda to be set by the anti-abortion minority who are fighting to turn the clock back to days of backyard abortion.

On March 13, the anti-abortion group “Cherish Life” will hold a rally and the pro-choice campaign will be there to meet them. Stand with the pro-choice majority! Take a stand against sexism and bigotry! Stand against those who would force us back to the backyard! Join the protest!
