Since August 2005, Radical Women and Campaign for Women's Reproductive Rights have organised the monthly defence of the Fertility Control Clinic against the 'Helpers of God's Precious Infants'.
Melbourne City Council has applied local laws against the clinic defenders. In October 2010, the Council issued a Notice to Comply against the banner ('Free abortion on demand now!') that threatened fines of up to $1250.
At this council meeting, Greens Councillor Cathy Oke will table a petition that calls on the council to withdraw the Notice to Comply, uphold free speech and protest rights and stop its punitive actions against the clinic defenders.
Melbourne Town Hall, 90-120 Swanston Street, City.
