Abortion protest at Brighton and Hove Green HQ
12:10pm Friday 30th November 2012 in News
Anti-abortion campaigners picketed the Green Party’s office in central Brighton yesterday (November 29).
About a dozen people, carrying posters with graphic images, demonstrated in Surrey Street for about two hours in the morning.
It is understood the protest was organised by campaign group Abort67.
A BBC Panorama television crew was with them.
Rob Shepherd, chairman of the city’s Green Party, said: “I have no idea why they were outside the Green Party office.
“I don’t know that there is any difference between our policy on abortion or Labour’s or other parties.”
Sussex Police confirmed they attended a demonstration but said there was no trouble and no arrests.

a) do you have a uterus?
b) Is the baby yours?
If the answer to either of these questions is 'no' then your opinion is worthless.

There are two qualifications that anybody needs to have an opinion that is worth listening to when it comes to abortion:
a) do you have a uterus?
b) Is the baby yours?
If the answer to either of these questions is 'no' then your opinion is worthless.

In Ireland there is now a 10 month waiting list to have an abortion.

.
And, incidentally, the "is the baby yours?" could be thought to apply to the male in the equation...

Vote of no confidence in the Green administration e petition now live on the Brighton and Hove City Council website. If you love your city and want to end the waste and destruction of the Greens, please sign the petition. We need 1250 signatures to get this discussed in full council. Surely there are 1250 angry people in the city who want to make a difference? Save Our City.

I just can't understand the vitriol I see here. They're just as competent as every other bunch we've had in control here. Would somebody please tell me without using rhetoric of why I should sign a petition to remove a democratically elected party?
