Heads up UK readers SPUC are here and trying to oppress YOUR RIGHTS

I honestly thought we were better than this on my little island...

On Saturday 28 April (some locations Sat 21 April), supporters of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) www.spuc.org.uk will (warning clicking that may result in you putting your fist through your monitor) form chains, standing along the kerbside at intervals holding placards which bring home the reality of abortion. The event is known as the Pro-life Chains and will be held from 11am to 1pm

I don't know about elsewhere but in Newcastle Upon Tyne there'll be counter demonstration (that unfortunately I'll be unable to attend) and the Facebook event can be found here . I urge everybody who can get involved in counter demonstrations to do so, let's show these people that we Brits will NOT stand for people who try and take our choices away.

This IS NOT just a women's reproductive rights issue, SPUC also have campaigns against same sex marriage:

  • Marriage - the permanent, exclusive union of one man and one woman - is the basis of the family, the fundamental group unit of society. Upholding marriage is therefore in everyone’s interests.
  • Marriage as an institution protects children, both born and unborn. Statistics show that unborn children are much safer within marriage than outside marriage.
  • Same-sex marriage lacks basic elements of true marriage e.g. the complementary sexual difference between spouses necessary for the procreation and healthy upbringing of children.
  • Same-sex marriage represents an attempt to redefine marriage, thus undermining marriage. This undermining lessens the protection for unborn children which true marriage provides."

Their website is full of un-sourcable miss-information that in many cases appears to have been made up on the spot and in numerous cases they link to a blog (which they seem to be aiming at young people) that refers to the pro-choice movement as "pro-death" and "anti-life" which simply is not the case, I am pro-choice, if I were "pro-death" as they say I would not be typing this because I would have killed myself by now. 
In a quick scroll through all of the blog's misinformation I found this:


"Every woman is safer without abortion and that's a fact."

No, just no, just go and look up the word "fact" before you fail at using it again.
Even WITHOUT including the stereotype of the woman who dies in a back alley with a coat hanger, NOT HAVING ACCESS TO SAFE, MEDICAL ABORTIONS KILLS WOMEN.
There are women who WANT to be mothers who end up having to abort due to complications with the pregnancy, if you really think letting those women die rather than have abortion access then you have no right to accuse the pro-choice movement of being "pro-death".

To repeat what I said earlier:

 I urge everybody who can get involved in counter demonstrations to do so, let's show these people that we Brits will NOT stand for people who try and take our choices away.
