Pro-life vigil in Dublin - Pro-choice counter demonstration

Wow what a day.

 

The Irish Pro-Life movement were having a gathering in Dublin today. 

To counter this the Pro-Choice movement planned a small silent demonstration. 

I received an invite to it on facebook from Katie.

 

Today really opened my eyes to the size and strength of the pro-life faction. 

Coaches upon coaches were parked along Merrion Square.

 

 

 

The people piled off the buses - ranging in age from children, to teenagers, to young adults, to middle age, to elderly people.  A lot of (old) nuns and (old) priests...

 

I had made up some signs.  

 

Katie & I met up with Mary & Kasey (aunt & cousin)

 



 

The turnout of our people just could not be compared to the pro-lifers:

But even in our small numbers I was glad I attended. 

This has shown me that it is more important than ever that we need to keep doing more and more.
