Rally for Abortion Rights - Don't Lose the Right to Choose!
October 22, 2011
Anti-choice organizations in Ontario are mobilizing to attempt to pressure the provincial government to defund abortion in this province. Join this counter-rally to defend reproductive rights! Don't lose the right to choose!
Ontario Tory leader Tim Hudak signed a petition supporting defunding abortion, but when pressed recently to answer whether he would move to attack abortion rights if elected premier, he said "he would follow Prime Minister Stephen Harper's lead and leave the abortion issue alone."
With the Harper government excluding abortion funding from the maternal health initiative, constraining International Planned Parenthood and defunding groups that support reproductive rights, women know what 'following Harper's lead' means: eroding abortion rights one step at a time.
We need to mobilize and show that the pro-choice majority will fight back against attempts to take away our hard-won reproductive rights!
Time: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Venue: North-east corner of College St. and University Avenue
Location: Toronto, ON
