Last week, Fathers 4 Justice was closed down by its founder. Immediately after the closure, several key members of F4J have set up "New Fathers 4 Justice".
As our first demo, we shall be protesting outside the Labour MP, Dawn Primarolo Health Ministers office in Bristol.
The MP and the labour Government, were under scrutiny in May for pushing ahead with the Human Embryology and IVF bill. This was because the "need for a father" was controversially dismissed by Primarolo and the Labour Government.
When responding to Tory shadow Health Minister's Mark Simmonds demand for "male role models", Primarolo was quoted saying "that would create an additional hurdle" for lesbian couples and single women.
"It is the government's view that all parents accessing treatment would assume to be supportive parents unless there was evidence to the contrary," she said.
Nigel Ace, who will front the demonstration on Friday September 19 th, said " This stance by the Health Minister flies in the face of good, proper and traditional foundations of raising children. We want them to focus on getting real Dads in the family, not artificial ones!!"
Mr. Ace who was a recent roof top protester on Harriet Harman's roof will be joined by many "NEW F4J "supporters including Mark Harris, Tony Ashby and Jolly Stanesby, all of whom protested on Harman's roof also. "We urge Dads who are not seeing their kids to join us on our first New F4J demo, so they can meet Dads who are in the same boat" We need to give Dads a chance in society today and this will be the first of many by us". We are hear to change the law and attitudes towards Dads"
