343 European women demanding to legalize abortion in Europe!
We are looking for 343 women from all over Europe to sign the following text, to be printed in French Press in January at the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the abortion law in France. We will be demanding Abortion to be legal for all women in Europe.
We claim abortion as a fundamental right!
We are the future. We are the present. We are half of humanity. And we have had abortions in 2014.
There are hundreds of millions of us throughout the World for more years than one can tell.
We have done this because we chose to, were obliged to or were under pressure.
We uphold the right to abortion. We want access to contraception for everybody.
We want legal and medical safety. We claim abortion as a fundamental right.
We are not alone ; there are millions of us. And we are the future.
Sign the petition here.
