DESCRIPTION:

Defend Abortion Rights!!!
Activists, students, women and men who want to defend a woman?s right to control her own body are invited to defend an important Los Angeles area Family Planning Clinic against right-wing bigots who want to take away women?s right to choose. We will be counter-protesting an organization that will be targeting clinics across the United States for a period of 40 days (http://www.40daysforlife.com). Neo Nazis and members of the anti-immigrant group the Minutemen have been seen at this particular clinic. Please join us in creating a "Hate Free Zone" at this Family Planning Clinic.
Since the passage of Roe vs. Wade in 1973, the conservative right has been chipping away at abortion access on both the legal and ideological front. Currently, more than 80% of all counties in the United States have no abortion provider. It is time for this trend to stop. Access to legal and safe abortion is an important health care issue and a basic issue for women?s equality. Please join us in standing up for women?s rights.
When: Join us this Saturday: October 3 from 7:30 am - 2:00pm
Where: Family Planning Associates : 601 S. Westmoreland Ave., Los Angeles CA 90005 (Near Wilshire and Vermont)
