Defending abortion rights

November 8, 2000

SYDNEY — Women's Abortion Action Campaign members and supporters gathered outside an abortion clinic near Penrith on November 3 to counter an anti-abortion picket. The anti-choice campaigners have been harassing the clinic regularly. The pro-choice activists received a fantastic response from locals: many passers-by yelled out that abortion is a woman's right to choose and told the anti-choice picketers to go home. WAAC in western Sydney can be contacted at 9687 5134.
