Never Again! |
Remember Murdered Security Guard, Steve Rogers: Defend the Fertility Control Clinic!! Stand Up for the Right to Choose!
Ten years ago Steve Rogers was killed at work, defending the Fertility Control Clinic. On July 16, 2001 Peter Knight, an anti-abortion terrorist, stormed the clinic's waiting room: A terrifying melee ended in Rogers' death. The Fertility Control Clinic remains the target of an ultra-right movement intent on re-criminalising abortion in Victoria in order to strip back women's reproductive choices. On the fourth Saturday of every month, reproductive rights activists defend the clinic and its neighbourhood from a contingent of anti-choice crusaders. Activists also have to defend their right to free speech against interference from the Melbourne City Council. The Council has enforced local laws that impede the free speech and protest rights of the clinic defence and threatens to continue this practice if the pro-choicers persist with their public demonstrations of support for the clinic.
At the July defence, pro-choice activists will honour the memory of Steve Rogers on the anniversary of his death and say 'Never Again!' Come rally for full reproductive rights for all women and join in building a movement that will stop the anti-abortionists and secure real choices for women.
Exercise our right to free speech! Bring placards, banners and union flags!
