Nottingham solidarity protest to be held against the removal of abortion rights in US
A pro-choice organisation in Nottingham is to hold a solidarity rally on Saturday, July 2 to show support to people in the US affected by the decision to overturn Roe V Wade abortion laws. The event will be held at 2pm until 3pm by the Brian Clough statue.
The campaigners say this will not only show solidarity but send a clear message to the British Government that similar decisions will not be accepted.On Friday, the US Supreme Court overturned the law that protects access to abortion. So far, almost half of the US states have already passed legislation that could come into force allowing changes that reduce the time limit or ban abortion completely.
Lisa Clarke, a local nurse and member of Pro-choice Nottingham said: “I and many of my friends and colleagues are utterly appalled at this decision, some really shaken and fearful. This is an extremist right-wing action and must be vocally rejected our own government, some of whom have been influenced by some of the same right-wing extremists. Our own cabinet contains some vocal anti-abortion voices.
