ON MAY 14, TEN THOUSAND demonstrators marched through London to a rally in Hyde Park. The march, called by the National Abortion Campaign against the anti-abortion Benyon Bill, attracted large contingents of workers representing Trades Councils, union branches and left-wing groups.
Although feelings about this Bill are very strong, the rally was left feeling it could do very little but pressure individual MPs whether Liberal, Labour or Conservative, to vote against the Bill.
Speakers included Oonagh McDonald and Germaine Greer.
The slogans of the WSL, which sent a contingent on the march, raised the need to fight the issue on a rlass basis, by challenging the coalition government and linking the fight for free abortion to the struggle to defend the health service against the cuts.
