We do not want to be victims. Blah-blah is not enough for us, we are acting. We organize YOUTH PRIDES : happy to survive, we appreciate life, we hate their continuing to slaughter our little brothers and sisters in hospitals and private clinics. This is the reason why the YOUTH PRIDE is a protest, a merry one, but still a protest.

YOUTH PRIDE Paris, August 22, 1997 Let us be realistic, let us demand the impossible! In the center of the Latin Quarter "for eight centuries the city of young people", abortion is even more disgusting. Very close to a center specialized in MT-TT (medical terminations, therapeutic terminations) = for the women beyond the legal term of 10 weeks of pregnancy. If the baby is suspected of "abnormality" with echography, or if it weighs too much with his mom; MT, TT... SORDID! Within two blocks of the University of Medicine and the "Center of Progenèse" of Jerôme LEJEUNE (where they try to heal the little trisomic ones). It is too much, 20 years later, we remain three out of four rescued. We survived legalized abortion, we are fed up with the dropping of one quarter of our generation. ABORTION: WE CANNOT COPE ANYMORE! Group Bx Frederic Ozanam

Boulogne-Billancourt, Hospital Ambroise Paré August 20, 1997

PRESS RELEASE Paris, August 21, 1997 YOUTH PRIDE Continuing... THE HOSPITAL BROUSSAIS, IT IS NOT MERRY! After the sun of Longchamp yesterday in Ambroise Paré, our festival of life, this morning at Broussais, was not frankly gay! Hardly arrived, the director called the cops who circled the hospital. It was «Away, there is nothing to look at!» since nobody could neither enter or leave. And the women who came for an abortion, did they keep their babies? It is necessary to tell that the cops were even more numerous than us: 250 young people (like yesterday, even if some saw only 50!), against 6 buses of cops + 4 vans + command cars; they were ready to embark us. Hallucinating! But what did we do? Nothing! Except singing, (not canticles)! Then, when the cops ordered the dispersion, as Broussais is really not gay, we left, and the cops lined the streets. See you tomorrow! Group Lech Walesa P.S.: You will not see pictures, because the journalists in the street were set apart. It would be too shameful for them to let see young people and babies being seized!
