People Power and Left Unity: Towards a New Ireland for All People

This conference will allow left wing parties across the spectrum to compare policies and discuss the prospects for left wing unity. Representatives of communities, equality, rights and women’s groups will also outline their vision for a new Ireland and the prospects for closer co-operation with like minded political parties. The conference will also include a discussion of economic, political and social policies for a new Ireland from a range of left wing thinkers and writers in academia, unions and elsewhere. Union leaders will also present their vision for a new Ireland.

Question for ULA. I see you are for gay marriage rights very good, but are you pro choice on abortion?

author by Jerry Corneliuspublication date Wed Feb 16, 2011 21:14author address author phone Report this post to the editors

I'm not a member of the ULA but here is a response they gave to choice ireland:

UNITED LEFT ALLIANCE: "The common programme for the alliance can be found here http://www.unitedleftalliance.org/about-us/. It is not exhaustive in terms of addressing every issue but is primarily focussed on addressing the economic crisis. However I can say that the three component organisations, SP, PBPA and WUAG are each pro-choice on the abortion issue."

SOCIALIST PARTY: "The Socialist Party stands for the provision of free safe abortion through the health service for those women who choose to have one."

SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY: "The Socialist Workers Party's policy on abortion is that women should have the right to choose abortion if they wish. In order to make this choice a reality, abortion should be free, legal and safe and that legislation enabling that right should be enacted forthwith."
