A NUMBER OF pro-choice campaign groups will be staging a rally at the Spire on Dublin’s O’Connell Street this afternoon.
Around two thousand people attended a similar rally in the city centre on Wednesday evening to call for the a repeal of the contentious 8th Amendment of the Constitution.
The issue of abortion has been placed back in the spotlight in recent days in the wake of publicity surrounding the case of a young woman who who had a C-section at 25 weeks of pregnancy.
The HSE is due to carry out an inquiry into the case, which involved a woman who said she had been raped before arriving in Ireland.
She discovered she was pregnant while undergoing a medical exam here, and requested information about abortion services.
She said she was subsequently was seen by psychiatrists and underwent a Caesarean section.
In a statement on Monday, the HSE said its Director General had requested a report that “establishes all of the facts surrounding the care given to a woman who had her pregnancy ended pursuant to the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013″.
Choice Ireland, Actions for Choice, the Abortion Rights Campaign and the Association for Improvement of Maternity Services in Ireland are amongst the groups taking part in today’s rally.
It begins at 2pm at the Spire, with a march to the Deparment of Health at Hawkins Street then planned, followed by a rally at the Kildare Street entrance to Leinster House.
Speakers will include representatives of Doctors for Choice.
The Pro-Life Campaign also held a vigil outside Leinster House last evening. Organisers said the event was being staged to “challenge the undignified clamour from pro-choice advocates for more abortion as a premature baby struggles for life”.

O.R for the PC or the Sony P.M version… either way VR is coming :)
I remember it as a cool fad in early 90s.
I tried it out with big headset. Seemed amazing for its time but then just disappeared
I don’t own a PS4 but I want one anyway – they just look cool.
Careful what you wish for…..got mine at launch and it has been gathering dust since. Much more happening on the aul’ ps3
Complete rip off of ocullous rift
Nope. They’ve said that they’ve been working on it for a few years. No doubt oculus rift gave them the kick they needed to reveal it.
Besides, even if it was a rip off, what’s your point?
Complete rip off of virtual boy
Stop they all robbed the idea off lawnmower man anyways!
WHOOO 90 degree vision , not much use
Oculus has had a huge head start with Dev kits in the market for over a year with all industries from military to NASA currently developing with them. Don’t think Oculus need to worry about the big bad Sony coming to market
I hope oculus do really well. Apparently the tech is quite similar in both, so they’ll both help push VR. Hopefully the devices won’t be restricted to single platforms.
I know Oculus will work on several platforms they are even developing it to work on Android. I was going to buy the dev kit but I’m holding off now for the consumer version
Funny though, when X1 was announced with Kinect as standard, people complained they just wanted a controller and play the traditional way…. And to sit playing it….
Funny Oculus Dev kit 2 released yesterday #goodtiming
WHOOO 99 degree vision, not much use
have your say
