"I don?t mean to do a man down on the occasion of his death," says Professor James Alexander, "but the Beach Boys were either insanely cheerful, or maudlin with thin self-pity." Was Brian Wilson overrated?

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.

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."
