*******************************************************************

Pro Choice Activists marked International Women's Day by holding a protest
outside a Rogue family planning agency on Dorset Street. The Agency, called
"Women's Resource Agency" and also using the name "British Alternatives
Pregnancy Services", was covered up with a brown sheeting - in an attempt to
prevent their identity and location being exposed in the media.

Advertised as a pregnancy counselling agency, it subjects women in crisis
pregnancies to psychological manipulation, misleading and deliberately lying
about pregnancy and abortion services to prevent women from travelling for
abortion services. The lies they tell clients are designed to force women to
feel guilt and shame for even considering abortion as an option.
