Demonstrations over 8th amendment on both sides will take place in Cork today

Campaign groups both in favour and opposed to the eighth amendment, which prohibits abortion in Ireland, will hold demonstrations in Cork City today,
Youth Defence will bring its ‘Save the 8th’ event to the city, and activist Becky Kealy said it “is all about emphasising the lives saved by our pro-life laws, and bringing people to understand that we can help women and their babies without legalising something as barbaric as abortion”.
