We have already indicated our point of view, on the "rights" of the lather-to-be Investing veto power in anyone but the pregnant woman herself violates even thing that the right to abortion should give her the freedom to decide for herself what happens to her own body.

Restrictions like these will bring about an equally unjust situation to that which we have now. They will satisfy to some extent those women who can buy their right to choose: they will make poorer women suffer.

A partially reformed law will give people the illusion that things have really changed, while in reality the female population has been saddled with the same basic denial of dignity and freedom.

We reject these methods of buying Women off. We want no concessions; we want women's rights.
