Over 10,000 people attended the All-Ireland 'Rally for Life' in Dublin on Saturday, which served as a reminder to the Irish government that support for the pro-life cause in Ireland has not gone away. Despite the vote in 2018 to remove the constitutional protection for the unborn child and impose in its place the most liberal abortion regime in Europe, the pro-life cause in Ireland is alive and well.
Since the removal of the 8th Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland, abortion figures have increased year on year, manifesting the warnings of pro-life advocates prior to the referendum – warnings that were dismissed as scaremongering by the government, abortion advocates and the media in Ireland.
