women's right

Rational human beings plan a pro-abortion rally on 3 March 2007, to slap back the world's advancing army of anti-abortion religious loons.

Everyone with a brain respects the fact that free and legal abortion is a service that will always be provided in a civilised society. Or so we girls like to believe. Sadly for us, the political stage as we presently have it is cluttered with an apparently endless cast of religious zealots and/or Christian and Muslim toadies, all of whom have far too much to contribute on subjects with which they have no sympathy whatsoever - ie, women, normal sexual relationships, entirely human contraceptive oversights, and the madness that is having a crazy, impromptu shag with your bloke on the couch, then realising you're full of live sperm.

In other words, your average God/Allah-botherer does not know much about life on earth.

Fortunately, not everybody is a religious fanatic, or trying to climb into bed with one. The good people at Feminist Fightback, for example, are trying to operate in the real world of real women's issues. Feminist Fightback is a relatively new group of concerned citizens that formed at the end of 2006 to talk about, and try to change, various aspects of the modern world that prevent so many women from leading agreeable lives.
