Pro-Choice Action

Following the successful pickets on Thursday 8 March and Saturday 24 March at the rogue crisis pregnancy agency, an action will be held on Saturday 21 April at 12 noon. The rogue agency is at 50 Upper Dorset Street.

Pro Choice Activists marked International Women's Day by holding a protest outside a Rogue family planning agency on Dorset Street. The Agency, called "Women's Resource Agency" and also using the name "British Alternatives Pregnancy Services", was covered up with a brown sheeting - in an attempt to prevent their identity and location being exposed in the media.

Advertised as a pregnancy counselling agency, it subjects women in crisis pregnancies to psychological manipulation, misleading and deliberately lying about pregnancy and abortion services to prevent women from travelling for abortion services. The lies they tell clients are designed to force women to feel guilt and shame for even considering abortion as an option.

The activists returned to protest outside the rogue agency on Saturday 24 March, handing out leaflets with information about the lies the agency is telling women, as well as information sheets with the addresses and telephone numbers of reputable crisis pregnancy services nearby. 3-option agencies (give information on keeping a baby, adoption, and abortion) and 2-option agencies (give information only on keeping a baby and adoption) were included in the list.
