From the heart: One woman’s experience of abortion

Weekend’s Michelle Darmody writes about her abortion, and her hope that marches and protests on International Women’s Day will bring the country a step closer to a referendum.

Marching for what you believe in has long been a form of protest, a way of showing those in power that you do not agree, and that you feel strongly that change is needed.

I marched in 2003 against the Iraq war along with millions and millions of others around the globe. The Bush administration managed to unite the world like no one else ever had.
