Message of Support on Abortion Rights .

03-04-2008 13:33

Message of support.
Abortion is criminalised in Ireland and therefore many Irish women use UK
services. This is not spoken of a lot because we are at a stage where 16 years
after the 'X' case , not one government has introduced abortion law.
Pro-life stand in the streets with images of eviscerated infants and argument is
reduced to: -Abortion is always wrong- which means we do not talk about the issues
of human rights, post-abortion continuity of care, medical abortion or
abortion by choice. It does not exist.

Women Busker Survey

28-03-2008 05:07

I am documenting the History of Women Buskers and it is *really* difficult since practically nothing has been written down about this topic. I am doing research, reading books, looking through archives, talking to people, just trying to find leads as to where our own history is buried. I have been a busker for 28 years so I know some of our haunts and ways but I am looking for more info..

Mehdi Kazemi case: British war press indulges again in 'humanitarian' propaganda

16-03-2008 15:10

"It is not exactly amazing, but certainly worthy of attention, that when struggles by women, and gays, and black people for social justice are actually successful, the ruling class finds a way to appropriate those successes in its discursive strategies - so suddenly, an attack on Sudan would be anti-racist, a defense of black 'Africans' against 'Arabs' (who also happen to be black), while an attack on Iran would be about liberating gay people and women etc." (Lenin's Tomb)
