Pro-Life Rally In Dublin Organised By Precious Life

To quote the organizers: "The Rally for Life in Dublin city centre was an outstanding success. Precious Life organised buses from all across Northern Ireland to take people to the 'Rally for Life'. They joined with thousands of other people from all around Ireland, and abroad, gathered at Parnell Square. "

Catholic bishops across the island of Ireland encouraged their flocks to participate in this annual pro-life march.

"Life is our most precious gift," said Bishop Philip Boyce of the Diocese of Raphoe, calling the rally a "celebration of life." "To attend or take part in it in any way is a worthwhile endeavour to pursue as Catholics. We stand up for God's gift of life."

Ireland, both north and south, is one of the last remaining places in Europe where abortion is still illegal. However, according to the organisers, "the country's pro-life laws are under assault from pro-abortion campaigners in Ireland, the UK, European Union, and United Nations".

The colour and the enthusiasm of the marchers grabbed the attention of Dublin shoppers on a busy Saturday afternoon. Streets were closed to traffic so as to accommodate the large crowd and the rally participants enjoyed themselves dancing and singing as they travelled from Parnell Square to Kildare Street. At the end of the march they were addressed by pro-life speakers including the Director and founder of Precious Life, Bernadette Smyth.

Nonsense. Irish people who want abortions are getting them anyway in the UK. The notion that introducing abortion here would cause an astronomical inflation in the abortion rate is ludicrous. You're just some ould biddy who loves sticking her nose in other people's business and being all high-and-mighty. Since you're obviously so perfect and sin-free, let you cast the first stone. If you don't believe in abortion, don't have an abortion. But keep your ould biddy nose out of other people's lives.

Ara go on worshiping your invisible man in the sky and see where it gets you. The bible wisely says not to throw pearls of wisdom at swine, and I shalln't throw mine at you. The scum on our streets who grew up uneducated and unloved were unwanted at birth. You should call your selves PRO-ALIVE, NOT PRO-LIFE. Some people don't get to have a life. Good luck to you! I'm withdrawing from this 'debate' because I have better things to worry about than other people's private lives =0) Cya!

@dublincool86 Wipe out the culture you the pro-choice supporters want Ireland to be empty. Today Ireland has one of the youngest populations in Europe. If Abortion is allowed we will become a dying race. Choose Life always for your own country , people and culture. God bless Ireland.

@just1inchrist These people a minority that call themselves priests and have done this dont deserve the title. They have disowned and disgraced themselves and are nothing to do with Christianity.

[just1inchrist]

@dublincool86 I say again your not Irish. My God did this haha your a funny guy God is love and always will be and you have no fulfilment without God. A twisted minority of so-called priests may be perverts but this is a minority . The majority of priests are good people. Don't throw atheism down my throat belief in God is in our constitution so deal with it. You are for murder of children disgusting.

[dublincool86]

No Ireland without Christianity? You ignorant tool. I pity you, wasting your life with nonsense beliefs. It is a great comfort to me and all civilized people to know that you are among the last of a dying breed. The Catholic Church will never recover from its current death-throws. Christianity was used to wipe out the indigenous wonderful culture of this island.

@just1inchrist I am delighted to have lived my life without your God. Your God systematically raped and tortured children in this country for centuries and I am delighted to see your nonsense religion dying its slow and enjoyable death. Your priests have been inserting their erect penises into babies and ejaculating inside them for decades. Face the fact -abortion is coming. If you dont believe in abortion, dont have an abortion. But dont force your fucking nonsense religion down my throat.
