Unwelcome to Operation Rescue from by ablokeimet

In the spirit of the united front, the Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group encourages its 
supporters and readers to attend the rally below. Some activists have been urging the 
Immigration Minister to deny the anti-abortion zealot at the centre of this controversy a 
visa to enter Australia. The MACG does not support this tactic, because it's not the 
Immigration Minister's call to decide this matter. Our response is, instead, to mobilise 
working class opposition to the movement that Troy Newman embodies. A crucial factor in
our decision to endorse this demonstration is that the organisers of the rally have not 
participated in the campaign for the Immigration Minister to act. ---- Note: The 
Immigration Minister has banned Troy Newman from entering Australia, but the rally is 
going ahead anyway because Right to Life is still having its conference.

SNAP ACTION
Friday, 2 October, 12.00 pm

Give a Pro-Choice Unwelcome
to Operation Rescue from Melbourne!
Right to Life is touring Troy Newman, President of the notorious U.S. anti-abortion group, 
Operation Rescue (OR). OR has a violent history that includes clinics bombings and 
defending assassinations of doctors. Newman advocates the harassment of clinics, which 
includes stalking staff, as a way to shut them down. He says that abortion providers 
should be executed; women who choose abortion are guilty of murder and should be punished.

Newman is also connected with the Centre for Medical Progress, which is behind the smear 
campaign against Planned Parenthood in the United States, accusing PP of selling "body 
parts." This macabre misrepresentation of the provision of donated foetal tissue for 
research into diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, heart disease and 
kidney failure has been well exposed.

Defend abortion providers! Stand up for women's right to choose!

Rally at the Treacy Centre
126 The Avenue, Parkville

Bring placards, banners, co-workers and friends!
Tell Right to Life and Operation Rescue that we won't tolerate their misogynist violence!
