Protesters defend a woman's right to choose abortion in Australia  
On May 15, 50 supporters of the right to choose abortion held a spirited counterprotest outside the Salisbury Road clinic located in a residential suburb of Sydney, Australia. The protest was initiated by residents who approached the Women's Abortion Action Campaign after putting up with a year of monthly actions in front of their homes organized by an anti- abortion group called Helpers of God's Precious Infants. Chanting and singing, and supported by the honking of many cars passing by, the pro-choice demonstrators outlasted the right- wing group. After the picket all who participated decided to hold monthly counterprotests.
