Mothers for Choice and ALRANZ are working together to stage some pro-choice events to counter the anti-choice activity that is going on there in the wake of Southern DHB's intention to set up a much-needed abortion service in Invercargill.
Know anyone in Invercargill that may be interested in heading along to support the pro-choice cause and the move to set up the abortion service?
If you need any motivation, we've got a douchebag anti-choice pediatrician threatening to resign if the service is started up (even though he's not legally required to participate or be involved in abortion at all. Never mind that he's a PEDIATRICIAN and has nothing to do with abortion.) and a Catholic Bishop waxing lyrical about a "culture of death".
There's also pro-choice protesting going on in Dunedin. ALRANZ's Facebook page is a good way of keeping up with all of this if you're interested.
