I expect that Eirigi asked permission off their families that the photos of their loved ones be used as political propaganda for Eirigi.<br />

Do you mean were unborn children legitimate targets? You'd have to ask them.<br />
The issue of abortion crosses both right and left hardly a litmus test for right on politics.<br />
<br />
In my experience of being in the activist scene in Ireland there weren't very few women involved<br />
in meetings around Reclaim the Streets, anarchist movement, WSM membership etc.<br />
You'd have tor research why this is/ was the case in Ireland.<br />
Women seemed to be in larger numbers in the peace movement in England and esewhere in the '80's for example.<br />
<br />
There are liberal feminists like Hillary Clinton that use feminsim to justfy the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.<br />
There are radical feminists who oppose the invasion of Afghanistan.<br />
There was Margaret Thatcher whose policies towards Ireland were ruthless.<br />
There's the Queen visintg soon who is a woman and head of the British state.<br />
<br />
Feminsim doesn't progress until it moves on from beating the male guilt drum<br />
Black liberation doesn't progress until it moves on from beating the white guilt drum<br />
Gay liberation doesn't progress until it moves on from beating the straight guil drum<br />

Thankfully some femisists, people of color and gays have moved on.<br />
Time to get out of the ghetto even if it seves as as a comfort zone<br />
