Pro-life groups to continue with their opposition

Pro-life campaigners have vowed to continue their opposition to the reform of Ireland’s abortion laws, declaring that the removal of the Eighth Amendment is a “sad day” for the country.

The removal of abortion restrictions would be campaigned against, said groups, despite the decisive yes vote in Friday’s referendum.

Speaking at the count centre in the RDS at the weekend, Love Both spokeswoman Cora Sherlock said she was disappointed with the landslide victory for the yes side.
