About Us Website Statement |

The website www.globaliseresistance.com was advertised at the Glastonbury Festival. This site has nothing to do with our organisation. The site opposes abortion rights and includes many offensive pictures, supposedly of aborted foetuses. It is maintained by the UK Life League, an organisation with links to loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland and to violent anti-abortion groups in the US. We believe that opposing capitalism and neo-liberalism must mean fighting for women's liberation, including a woman's right to control her own fertility. Most people support abortion rights - 77% agree with the need for legal abortion, and every attack on the 1967 Abortion Act has failed. Because anti-abortionists have so little public support, they can only gain publicity by devious and shocking tactics like this. We ask people not not to go to the site to check it out. You will only add to their Internet traffic, give them the impression they have an audience and encourage this devious behaviour yet further. Our members put enormous effort into taking forward the rights of ordinary people. We find it deeply offensive that our name is being misused to promote revolting material in this dishonest way. We are consulting solicitors to investigate ways of closing down this site, and preventing the continued misuse of our name. Globalise Resistance |
