VIDEO: Abortion bus causes controversy as it rolls into Cork

Socialist Party TD Ruth Coppinger has expressed her distaste at what she termed the “voiciferious and vocal minority” of protestors who chanted as she attempted to make a speech when the abortion bus rolled in to Cork on Saturday morning.

The bus was organised by ROSA, a reproductive rights group against oppression, sexism and austerity.

It said its campaign is two-fold; to make medical abortion pills available to women who need them and to call for a referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment in the Constitution, which deals with the issue of abortion.
