| 説明 | As I had not carried out any research in advance I was a bit surprised by this rally as many (if not the majority) of the people that took part were from Northern Ireland or from the Philippines. On the other hand the counter-demonstrators appeared to be local to Dublin.As they made their way their way along O'Connell Street they encountered a counter-demonstration chanting "Don't put your rosaries on our ovaries". Some counter-protesters referred to the marchers as bin the "Irish Taliban".In general the event was good humored but there were some strong heated verbal exchanges that required intervention by the police.Speaking in advance of a counter-demo planned for Saturday 2nd July,spokesperson for a group of Dublin-based pro-choice activists, Sinead Kennedycalled upon all pro-choice people to join the demonstration.Commenting Sinead Kennedy said;“We have come together as a broad group of pro-choice activists to demonstrateagainst the so-called ‘Rally for Life’ at 2pm this Saturday at the Spire on O’ConnellSt. We wish to counter the notion that the organisers of the ‘Rally for Life’ representthe sum total of public opinion in Ireland. The right of a woman to control over herown body is a right still denied to women in Ireland. It is a hangover of Catholicguilt and successive governments who have refused to legislate for abortion, afundamental reproductive and health right, has left women in a powerlessposition – stigmatised and ignored.“On Saturday the 2nd of July a rally of ‘pro-life’ lobbyists will take to the streets. Wewill show that they do not represent the majority view. Consistent opinion polls haveshown that the majority of people in Ireland favour a women’s right to choose in mostcircumstances. In reality they are not ‘pro-life’, but anti-choice.“We are now calling on the Government to legislate for the X case as a matter ofurgency and introduce free, safe and legal abortion on demand. They must alsoimmediately close the ‘rogue’ crisis pregnancy agencies currently operating inIreland and ensure people have access to affordable contraception and other relatedsexual services. We are further calling on the Minister for Education to ensure thereis a comprehensive system of relationship and sexuality education in all schoolsacross Ireland. Finally, the Government must ensure that there are equal rights forall families, be they ‘traditional’, single-parent, LGBT or any other type. |
