Over 70,000 pro-lifers took to the streets of Dublin, Ireland, on July 1, 2017, to tell the government not to repeal the 8th amendment to the Irish Constitution. The 8th amendment gives an equal right to life to both pregnant women and their preborn children. Pro-life groups in attendance included the Life Institute, Youth Defence, and the Northern Ireland group Precious Life.
“This is an incredible, powerful day, when massive crowds of ordinary people turned out to Save the 8th, to say no to abortion and yes to Life,” Niamh Ui Bhriain of the Life Institute said. “We were expecting 50,000 but as the Rally moved through Dublin City, up to 80,000 people brought the city to a standstill as they joined in to Save the 8th. […] we can do better for mothers and babies than legalising something as barbaric and regressive as killing children before they are born.”
