Since I'm not there at the moment to go myself, I am posting this in the hopes that Irish readers will be moved to go to this event. The following is an email I received promoting attendance at a rally for anti-abortionists. I hope the Pro-Choice voices can have a presence!


Sick of ignoring the hypocrisy of yet another "pro-life" rally? (see http://rallyforlife .net)

Saturday 4th July, 2pm at the GPO

Come in purple, green or white and join the Feminists for Real Life rally! Bring your own noise and placards. Or come to make placards on Thurs 2nd July, 7pm Seomra Spraoi, 10 Belvedere Court, Dublin 1 (map at www.seomraspraoi. org).
