March for Choice – Saturday 29th September 2012, 2pm The Spire, O’Connell Street
The extremely successful “March for Choice” commenced at the Spire on O’ Connell street just after 2pm today before travelling to Merrion square. Several thousand people, including diverse groups such as the National Women's Council of Ireland, Irish Choice Network and the Irish Feminist Network took to the streets of Dublin to celebrate their support for women’s reproductive rights and to demand that Ireland’s barbaric and restrictive abortion laws be changed. Several political parties including the United Left Alliance and the Labour party were represented at the march.
Despite a Supreme Court judgement and two referendums, Irish law remains so unclear that abortion is inaccessible in all circumstances for all women, even when a woman’s life is at risk.
Spokesperson for March for Choice Sinead Redmond commented “Today’s March was a celebration of Irish people’s support for women’s reproductive health and rights it is important to remember that each day 13 Irish women travel to the UK, often alone to terminate pregnancies. We walked in solidarity with those 150,000 Irish women who have been forced to travel to access terminations since 1980. We walked as out and proud pro-choice Irish people.
Women in Ireland want access to health services in our own country. Today, along with the estimated 3,500 who joined us we had an opportunity to celebrate our support for this choice."
