Free Saturday.

Do you have a wheelie case?

Linda Kavanagh writes:

The landslide vote for Marriage Equality and the passage of the Gender Recognition Bill earlier this year, demonstrates clearly, the huge appetite for change and progress in this country. This will be the last March for Choice before the next general election, so we must make it clear – securing our vote will mean making a commitment to Repeal the 8th amendment, so that we can take a step closer to securing free, safe and legal access to abortion in Ireland.
The March will kick off at 2 pm in Dublin at the Garden of Remembrance (assembling from 1.30pm), and like last year, we are asking that you bring a wheelie case if possible to make the effort and sound of travel abundantly clear!

    Hope the weather will be good. Whether it is or not, I’ll be there. The 8th amendment needs to go. Women’s health needs shouldn’t be subject to legal arguments.

    I’m looking forward to marching once again. It’s a complete piss-take we’re still marching and campaigning on this issue, it’s an absolute dire and shameful situation for women to have to put up with.

    Repeal the 8th!

    Any opinions: is Pro-choice people pushing babies to the front for photoshoots in any way a parallel to Anti-choice people pushing younger people and women to the front for photoshoots..?

    (babies for abortion vs. young / female against abortion)

      Mm I always see the young women at anti-choice marches as evidence that they aren’t all old men obsessed with the contents of my womb and babies at pro-choice marches as evidence that they aren’t all man-hating baby-killing women with cold hearts made of steel.

      I’m pretty confident that the woman in the photo just has a baby and didn’t leave him at home, because, you know … that’s not a good idea.
      People have babies, even pro-choice activists.

      And it’s the photographers who arrange the photos

        That’s not really the point. Whenever children/babies are pictured at pro-life events there is uproar in the BS comments section and cries of indoctrination from the usual suspects. Obviously this doesn’t apply to pro-choice events.

    Yes repeal the 8th!

    Anti-abortion people in Ireland are in complete denial. We export our problems to other countries in their hundreds, annually. Lets grow up and take responsibility. Pro choice is for the good of Humanity

      1. Lorcan Nagle

        an average of 10 women a day give their address as Ireland in UK abortion clinics, we don’t have stats for the Netherlands and other mainland European destinations, or any way to tell how many women give fake addresses or where they’re staying in the UK rather than their home address (which was much more common before the X Case legislation)

    Ah here

    I’m getting too old for this marching
    Doing it too long
    Me back me knees
    Me patience
    So
    I’ll see ye at Westmorland Street
    And I’m not bringing a wheelie bag
