Don't Turn Back the Clock on Reproductive Freedoms! 
  Join the Feminist Fightback picket  of the Christian Medical Foundation to defend the time limit on abortion and oppose attacks on the reproductive rights that women have won in the last 40 years.
  Friday 25th Jan 4pm, 6 Marshalea Road, SE1 1HL London (nearest tubes London Bridge and Borough High Street)
  The Christian Medical Foundation is lobbying the government hard over the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill currently being discussed in parliament, in favour of reducing the time limit on abortions. The Christian Medical Foundation was recently exposed when at least eight of its members gave evidence to the government Inquiry by the Science and Technology Committee into the future of abortion law in Britain which claimed that abortion harmed a woman's health- without disclosing their membership of the CMF (see http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/oct/15/sciencenews.medicineandhealth). The CMF also hosts the minority report produced by the Conservative MP Nadine Dorries who has also in the past introduced a Bill to cut back the time limit. 
  For more information call Laura on 07890 209479 or email laura_schwartz2003 at yahoo.co.uk or see www.feministfightback.org.uk 
   
  Plans for the picket will be discussed at the next Feminist Fightback open steering group on Sunday 13th Jan 3.30pm at the Lucas Arms on Grays Inn Rd, London (nearest tube Kings Cross). Open to all self-defining women.
  Provisional Agenda also includes actions for International women's day, awareness raising stunts on the issue of gender and migration. For any other suggestions contact Laura (see above)
