| Protestors - Women and Babies deserve better |
Today in Dublin Ireland, Protesters at a massive Rally for Life stretched as far as the eye could see in Merrion Square as the people of Ireland came together in support of the Unborn Child.
The message was clear; Abortion is not wanted in Ireland.

Speakers against abortion being introduced into Ireland were greeted with deafening cheers, a roar of strength on behalf of the unborn child.
Protesters chanted, 'Kill the bill, not the child.'
The heat of the Dublin summer shimmered, and personnel in tents dispensed water to children and adults as the protesters braved the threat of dehydration in order to make their protest known.
Crowds turned out in numbers on buses, transport and by foot to add their voice in support for the unborn child's right to life in Ireland.

Yvonne Hartnett stood bearing a poster of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Preborn.
Information pamphlets were given to protesters and interested passersby, apprising 100,000 Pro-Life Pledges have been gathered.
Within the crowd many people who had travelled at personal cost and time from all corners of Ireland listened to the speakers.
Some sobbed as they were overcome by their horror of the thought that abortion - the killing of defenceless children within the womb - was even being considered in Ireland.

Some who had travelled long distances and braved the heat were almost fainting in the raised temperature.
Some sat, needing assistance and water. But once they felt a little better, they continued their protest.
Today was a powerful and moving testimony to the strength of the Irish spirit, and the deep reverence for life of the unborn child.

The numbers today were breathtaking. The protest, which Lumiere began to follow in Belfast, which moved to Castlebar and then to Dublin, continues to gain momentum and in numbers.
A massive All-Ireland Rally for Life will be the next protest on Saturday July 6th 2013 at Parnell Square, Dublin 1.
Traffic was affected and streets were blocked off in Dublin today due to the protest.
This is one issue that is just not going away, but gathering momentum.
People continue to picket outside TD offices, phone in to TD's, write letters, sign petitions in increasing numbers and with increasing determination.
