Forthcoming Event

Abortion Rights : Campaign for a modern Abortion Law launch

Join us to launch the campaign for a modern abortion law at the House of Commons on Saturday 3rd March

Assemble at 12.30 for a public launch event and press photo opportunity to spell out our message on the green outside the QEII Conference Centre, in front of the Houses of Parliament.

It's time the pro-choice majority was heard!

Abortion Rights - the national pro-choice campaign celebrating International Women's Day

• QEII Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary Westminster, London SW1
• Tube - Westminster

40 years after the 1967 Abortion Act, it is time to celebrate the social, economic and educational advances that reproductive rights have allowed women, and the end to back-street abortion.

Yet 40 years on, women in the UK still don’t have the right to make their own abortion decisions. Women are obstructed and delayed and current rights are repeatedly challenged.

In this 40th anniversary year, Abortion Rights is coordinating a major push for a modern law. We are joined by MPs, Peers, doctors, nurses, sexual health organisations, trade unions, students and pro-choice supporters in calling for a law in line with majority public opinion.

For more information or to add your support please visit our web site at http://www.abortionrights.org.uk

It is time for:

• women, not doctors, to make the abortion decision in the first three months
• an end to unacceptable delays in service provision
• an end to attacks on current rights

Be there and make a difference!
