This afternoon.
Scenes from today’s Women Rising rally in Dublin, arranged by Coalition to Repeal the 8th, taken by Mark Stedman.
Mark writes:
The rally was organised to demand that the Irish Government take action to respect and protect women’s lives, health and choices. Supporters were encouraged to wear black and tweet their support using #Black4Repeal.
The rally is one of two Irish events that took place today as part of an international day of support for women in countries where abortion is banned or difficult to access. Some of the countries participating around the world include Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Poland, Chile, Argentina, Mexico and Italy.

Because black lives matter.
Always the ahole comment Tony, good man.
I thought it was mildly funny and layered. Whats your beef?
But it isn’t funny, “Tony”. A trolling opportunity for you can also be a very serious matter for a real human being. Do you see the problem?
+1
it’s weird seeing the children that wouldnt exist if abortion on demand was legal campaign for abortion on demand, guess they’re pulling up the ladder behind them
How do you know they wouldn’t exist if there was abortion on demand? Are the populations where abortion on demand is available on the verge of extinction?
if you had been aborted you’d has no comment to make. I’m sure your happy you weren’t.
If I’d been a cheese sandwich, I’d have no comment to make either.
You have chosen a very suitable name, dearie. Norman was a REAL mysogynist – one who was prepared to act! – is that you, Norman?
Didn’t Norman have sexual relations with his mother?
That would explain a lot about this one too.
It is so disappointing that these people refuse to practice safe sex Must be a catholic thing.
What has happened to Broadsheet comments? Where are all these trolls coming from?
Who knows. Started a couple months ago, and their number is growing steadily.
You have to buy a subscription to comment on the Irish Times, so they come here and troll for free.
Its the Trump effect? The racists have taken courage from his victory and are alt righting all over the place.
I ‘m with you Ricky. You find a forum that’s fun, modern, and just occasionally discussion issues which might be regarded as vaguely ‘political’. Hours later the FG ‘frape room’ people arrive and that’s effectively the end of the forum. It happened to the Journal, although they still remain good numbers, but as a forum for actual debate – forget it. This is the Brave New World.
Why is anyone who challenges the Broadsheet agenda branded a troll?
Usually it’s to avoid actual debate.
What about a coalition to safe the unborn human being.
Safe away, Topsy. Absolutely nobody is stopping you.
That’s just daft. Why not just use humour and satire to take the michael out of a tiresome bunch of reactionary gender/identity politics dinner party Prada Meinhof shower of Prosecco-drinking D6/D8 ladygardens who have nothing but contempt for real people anyway?
A black jumper with REPEAT would be good.
R U OK hun?
