Activists and supporters braved the rain throughout today, protesting US backed inteference in our reproductive rights!

March 4 Life hosted a "Rethinking Abortion Conference" on Abbeydale Road, with the express aim of teaching attendees how to persuade someone considering an abortion not to have it.

We were there to say NO; because we believe in
- Informed choices
- Accurate information
- Reproductive rights
- Bodily autonomy

March for Life are very open that their aim is to end all abortions. Since Roe v Wade was overturned in the US, anti choice groups are looking to expand their influence; and anti choice activity here in the UK is on the rise.

We say no! And from the support our activists received today, we know that you do too. Everywhere they gather to restrict our rights, there we will be.

Join us!

*God bless abortion!* 🙏

This Saturday, conservative Christian group March for Life are having a ‘Rethink Abortion Training Day’ in Sheffield. March for Life is an anti-abortion group originating in the US, and who were involved in overturning the Roe v Wade case.

Join Sheffield Right to Choose to demand that they leave our bodies alone!

Despite the far-right's tokenistic demand to 'protect women and girls', in reality, control over women's bodies (among other bodies) has always been a core tenet of fascism. The fight for bodily autonomy and control over our own reproductive systems _is_ the fight against fascism.

With out-dated debates around abortion rising into the mainstream; with Farage threatening to strip back the rights of women to access abortion should Reform come into power; with this already happening in the US - the ability to choose for ourselves what we do with our bodies is firmly under threat.

🪧 Join the Sheffield Right to Choose campaign's counter protest this Saturday, 6th June, 10am-4pm outside Mother of God Parish Centre, Abbeydale Road.

Join at any point you can and stay for as long as you can!

Sheffield Right to Choose regularly organised counters against far right anti abortionists as well as proactive campaigning for reproductive justice. Get in touch to find out more or get involved ♥️

Happening in Sheffield this Saturday

🫠 an excellent contextual account of the last 4 years of far-right rise to the public sphere and anti-abortion movements by norris - our guest of honour at Public Meeting: Sheffield Right to Choose Pro-Choice discussion

“Posts include former Home Secretary and Reform UK MP Suella Braverman saying that the party would reverse decriminalisation – as did far-right parties Restore Britain, UKIP, and the Heritage Party. The parties did not respond to a question on what their policy would mean for re-criminalising women who self-manage their abortion.”

Following abortion decriminalisation, analysis from openDemocracy and the Fuller Project reveals the UK far right is pushing anti-abortion talking points into mainstream political debate.

👁️ The far right have our bodies in sight.

🏳️‍⚧️ ⚧️ Attacks on abortion and trans rights have been central to their international networks.
🇬🇧 This year in the UK we have made gains in abortion rights but the misogynist right are growing.

🗓️ Join us at this meeting to discuss the gains and threats and what we can do to fight for reproductive justice
