March. March, I beg of you

I know that most of you are horrified by the stories detailing the atrocities that women have been subjected to over the last 100 years, writes Louise O’Neill

he March for Choice is on September 30. Organised by the incredible Abortion Rights Campaign, thousands of men and women will gather at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin at 2pm on that Saturday; all hoping that this will be the last year that we have to do so.

I won’t be among them this year, unfortunately, as I will be in Liverpool for a family engagement. It seems especially poignant to be in Liverpool, a city that has welcomed so many Irish women over the years.
