[Anarchafeminists] Fwd: Feminist Fightback Pro-choice action 9th May London

[butterflea at riseup.net]

A religious anti-abortion group are planning a procession from their 
church to a nearby abortion clinic in Stratford on May 9th. We can't let 
this gounchallenged - they might have a right to express their opinion, 
but theydon't have a god-given right to stand outside a clinic, peddle 
lies andintimidate and harass people. As well as making sure people can 
access theclinic safely, we want to do a lively action that makes a 
stand against thereligious right-wing and their anti-women views that 
are dressed up asconcern and counselling.Abortion is not just a 
'women's' issue. And not just about a woman'sindividual 'right' or 
'choice'**, which is hard to come by in a capitalistsystem, especially 
for black and working class women who always bear thebrunt of such 
policies - either by not being able to access abortions ifthey want one, 
or being forced to have one because the state doesn't wantthem to 
reproduce, or having to have one because they can't afford to havea 
baby. As communists/anarchists/socialists of various types, we should 
allrecognise the importance of reproductive justice, linked as it is 
tocapitalist production and control over working class bodies. We all 
have aninterest in defending ourselves against the state and religious 
powers.Abortion is a class issue! All genders welcome!Spread the news to 
all your networks!Meeting point: Steam Engine outside Stratford tube 
station, 09:30am. Lookfor people in Feminist Fightback red t-shirts who 
will then give furtherinstructions...Bring pots and pans, 
music/noise-making stuff, pro-choiceplacards! ¡No 
pasarán!https://www.facebook.com/events/1620581718156536/In
