Missed last weeks picket as i was at the Anarchist summer camp but here are some images from yesterday
You aren't meant to leaflet cars, its dangerous.
Women living in countries where abortion is restricted - including Northern Ireland - are using the internet to buy medication enabling them to perform an abortion at home, it emerged.
A medical study found more than one in 10 customers on one of the most well-known websites needed a surgical procedure after taking the medication.
Women in more than 70 countries, including Northern Ireland, have used the internet site Women on Web to purchase the drugs for £55 a time. Anti-abortion campaigners have labelled the development "worrying".
Women on Web is available in five languages and offers the drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. It says a combination of the pills causes the non-surgical termination of a pregnancy and can be used up to the ninth week.
The website says it helps women "gain access to a safe abortion with pills in order to reduce the number of deaths due to unsafe abortions".
But the BBC reports a study published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology found that 11% of 400 customers went on to need a surgical procedure - either because the drugs had not completed the abortion or because of excessive bleeding.
The Family Planning Association in Northern Ireland told the BBC the website was "helpful and reputable", but stated that on two occasions women bought drugs without appropriate medical information and needed medical care after experiencing complications.
But the anti-abortion group Comment on Reproductive Ethics said it was taking abortion "into the shadows".

...Which is where it will be until we can get safe, medical termination on request.
Can they get away with it because they're a 'free' advice agency? A doctor who advised people to put rashers in their shoes to cure headaches would surely face disciplinary action.
Well done. Keep it up.
Well done and thanks to all the hardy folk who also came down to support teh starbucks picket - your activist medals are in the post! :-)
