Follow up post to yesterday's counter demonstration post

I posted yesterday about the Pro-Life vigil in Dublin and our demonstration that we counter-staged.

See my post here.

 

Katie was reading all the online reports of the demos and she found an article which included a photograph of the two of us.

 

The article is from the Breaking News Ireland website - see the article here. 

 

The first photograph is of the Pro-Life group.

A crowd of 25,000 was reported - and I'd well believe it. 

 

And the second photograph is of Katie & myself!

Edit. 21/01/13 - Katie located another online article which has used the same photograph of us.

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.


Edit.  See here for online coverage and photograph of Katie & I.
