Action Alert: Just Say NO to Dorries – Abortion Rights ~ 20th January 2012
Conservative MP Nadine Dorries’ Ten Minute Rule Bill on abstinence-based sex education – for girls aged 13-16 only – is getting its Second Reading this Friday, 20th January. We believe the Bill, should it pass, would be counter-productive and harmful, as all evidence shows that abstinence-only sex education is ineffective and leads to higher rates of teen pregnancy.
A protest against the Bill will take place outside Parliament on Friday. Speakers include:
* Abortion Rights Vice-Chair Kate Smurthwaite,
* Lisa Hallgarten of Parents and Carers for SRE,
* the British Humanist Association and
* Youth Fight for Jobs.
We’d love to see you there.
Date: Friday 20th January
Time: 10.30-12.30
Location: Houses of Parliament, St. Margaret Street, London, SW1A 2AT
