Video Clip Featuring Feminist Fightback’s Pro-Choice Action in Stratford, London 9th May 2015
Feminist Fightback organised a vibrant, loud (VERY LOUD) and inspiring pro-choice action in Stratford London on Sat 9th May 2015.
The counter-demonstration was in response to a planned (so-called) ‘pro-life’ religious procession through the centre of Stratford culminating outside an abortion clinic. This is a part of a religious group, ‘Helpers of God’s Precious Infants’, regular harassment / bullying and manipulation of women outside clinics. This is no amateur collection of “concerned” individuals, but a highly organised international network, funded by anti-abortion groups in the US, which provides training and resources to equip anti-abortion bigots to harass and intimidate women’s outside clinics.
