Ireland: abortion protest

Christian Institute / Christian Concern

Up to 90,000 pro-lifers took to the streets of Dublin in March to urge the country to vote ‘no’ in the 25 May referendum on abortion.

The Constitution of Ireland’s Eighth Amendment pledges to ‘defend and vindicate’ the equal right to life of the unborn and the mother, ‘as far as practicable’. The referendum is being held to decide whether or not to repeal the amendment.
