Saturday, November 24

This is the first action Melbourne Feminist Action have voted to perform: an en masse counter-rally to defend the Fertility Control Clinic in East Melbourne, the first clinic to provide safe and affordable abortions in Australia. Anti-abortionists picket the clinic daily, harassing, bullying and intimidating patients and staff. MelbFemAction is holding this rally to say very clearly that we are aware of the tactics being used to shame and intimidate women attempting to access a health clinic and that we strongly oppose this harassment. Abortion in Victoria is both legal and safe, and we trust women to make decisions about their own bodies and their own lives. 10am. Fertility Control Clinic, Wellington Pde, East Melbourne.
