X is for Anonymous was created by three Dublin students – Heather Browning, Kerry Guinan and Rosi Leonard. Born during the era of the X Case, these student filmmakers interrogate why the government have failed in their duty to another generation, and whether the next generation can hope for this much anticipated legislation.
The documentary also hopes to describe in some way a particular sense of national identity rooted in religion, and how that identity is often perpetuated at the cost of women’s rights. Key contributors include Senator Ivana Bacik, Professor Fiona de Londras, Frank Crummey, Clare Daly TD, Fiona Hyde, Nadine O’Regan, Katie Gillum as well as a number of pro-choice activists.

Members {carrying wheelie cases with British airport tags] of the Perform for Choice Collective engaged at the Airport Bus Stop at Busaras, Dublin, earlier to “highlight the burden of travel imposed on 150,000 women seeking abortion services in Great Britian since 1980”. The March for Choice takes place in Dublin on Saturday in support of Decriminalisation of Abortion Global Action Day.

He [with headset] noticed us and started shouting at us about abortion, and talking about how you can see fetuses online ripped to pieces, so I stood in front of him making my thumb and index finger into a little circle to show the size of a fetus at 12 weeks…. anyways, crowds gathered, photos were taken (this one by some lovely opportunistic teenage atheists), flyers were handed out and good times were had by all.
Apparently they make merchandise when they’re not hassling women. He called me a murderer and said that women who face serious illness during and as a result of pregnancy should just suffer it. This was after listing a massive number of chronic illnesses that are worsened during pregnancy. He actually used those words “they should have to suffer”.
He was all ‘google it, google it!’ and I turned around and was like ‘dude if you’re going to lie to them don’t tell them to check it on the internet, yeah? cause you know what you’re saying isnt true and theyll find that out when they go on google’
Thanks to this lovely God-botherer shouting at us this afternoon I’d say we handed out twice the amount of March for Choice flyers we thought we would.Thanks, dude!.
