Vol.63/No.22 June 7, 1999
Protesters defend a woman's right to choose abortion in Australia
On May 15, 50 supporters of the right to choose abortion held
a spirited counterprotest outside the Salisbury Road clinic
located in a residential suburb of Sydney, Australia. The
protest was initiated by residents who approached the Women's
Abortion Action Campaign after putting up with a year of
monthly actions in front of their homes organized by an anti-
abortion group called Helpers of God's Precious Infants.
Chanting and singing, and supported by the honking of many cars
passing by, the pro-choice demonstrators outlasted the right-
wing group. After the picket all who participated decided to
hold monthly counterprotests.
