The March for Life taking place in Dublin on Saturday 17th September has been described by organisers as a “particularly important event” as it coincides with the Government’s Three-Year Review of the abortion law nearing its end.
Autumn Lindsey, spokesperson for Students for Life of America and Rachel Mackenzie, the well known media contributor on abortion from England are both scheduled to speak at the march.
Autumn Lindsey first came to prominence in 2017 when she made a rebuttal video that was watched by millions in response to a Teen Vogue article promoting abortion, while Rachel Mackenzie speaks with first-hand knowledge of how the abortion industry treats women and addresses the deep regret she feels regarding the two abortions she had. The line-up of speakers on the day will also include pro-life Oireachtas members.
Speaking about the event, Eilís Mulroy of the Pro Life Campaign said: “On 17th September, we are asking families and supporters of all ages to join us in Dublin where we’ll unite with pro-life Oireachtas members to seek proper representation for the pro-life viewpoint at the decision making table, to make way for policies that will help reduce Ireland’s spiralling abortion rate.
“The Government knows it cannot justify the exclusion of pro-life voices but it’s our responsibility to bring this issue to a head and insist on being included in the decision making process so we can work towards reducing the abortion rate.”
Ms Mulroy continued: “It will be a wonderful family friendly event and send a strong message to the Government. But to really pack a punch and show the strength of our commitment, we need every last pro-life supporter to be present. The pro-life marches and rallies that took place earlier in the year were a great source of encouragement and motivation but we have to keep up the pressure to start delivering results.”
