We will be meeting outside University of London<BR>>Union on Malet Street (nearest Tube, Goodge Street, Russell Square<BR>>or Euston) from 6.30pm. The march will call for:<BR>><BR>>- No reduction in the 24-week time limit for access to abortion.<BR>>- The right to abortion on demand (this means an end to having to<BR>>get the consent of two doctors) up to the legal time limit.<BR>>- The extension of abortion rights to women in Northern Ireland.<BR>>- Abortion to be integrated into the NHS as an ordinary medical<BR>>service.<BR>>- An end to privatisation and fragmentation in the NHS; increased<BR>>public funding to guarantee free and equal access to abortion.<BR>>- Improved access to and increased choice of publicly funded<BR>>contraception.<BR>>- Clear, honest, comprehensive and confidential sexuality and<BR>>relationship education for all
children which addresses issues of<BR>>consent and domestic violence.<BR>>- A real 'right to choose' which also means the right to have a<BR>>child free from economic and social pressure. This requires a real<BR>>living wage for all workers, benefits which can be lived on and rise<BR>>with earnings, universal publicly funded childcare and an end to the<BR>>stigmatisation of single mothers.<BR>><BR>>We have regular organising committee meetings, open to all women, to<BR>>plan for the march, which is open to all, both men and women.<BR>><BR>>To get involved or if you any questions please email volsunga@...<BR>>or for more information visit http://www.fightback.org.uk<BR>><BR>>Please promote the march in your women's group, union branch,<BR>>student union or other campaigning organisation (a model motion can<BR>>be found
