The Fight to Save Abortion: WE WON'T LOSE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE!
Come to a meeting to discuss how to build a movement in this country that wins for women complete control over their bodies and lives.
Thursday, July 28th, 7:00pm
LGBT Community Center, Room 301
208 West 13th Street (at 7th Ave)
(subway: 1/9 [there is no 9], 2/3, or A/C/E to 14th Street)
When Sandra Day O'Connor announced her resignation from the Supreme Court, the Bush Administration began searching for the next right-winger who they hope will dismantle abortion entirely. Abortion has been under attack since it was won in the 1970s. The procedure - that one in three women will have in her lifetime -is not available in 87% of counties in the US. Most states have mandatory waiting periods and parental consent laws that further restrict women's choices.
A new fight to save abortion is long overdue. We need a new fight - not only in the Supreme Court, but in the streets and in every city.
Speaker Tristin Adie is a women's rights activist and member of the International Socialist Organization in New York City, and was part of the women's movement in the early 90s that defended clinics against Operation Rescue and defeated the conservatives' attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade.
