Working people should reject every argument of the right- wing forces pushing this legislation and the liberals who tail-end them by saying, "Well, maybe this one type of abortion is too horrible."

This is all aimed at shifting the question from one of a woman's right to control her own body to a supposed moral debate. Likewise the question of how many such procedures are performed each year is completely irrelevant.

If this move by the government is allowed to go unanswered, it only emboldens rightist forces like those who have bombed and blockaded abortion clinics. Supporters of women's rights can and should take the initiative to organize pickets, speak-outs, and public forums to answer this latest attack on women's rights.
