Follow the link for a video of the AIMS speech at last nights protest. We are marching again on Saturday at 2pm in Dublin; join us if you can! Everyone in Ireland with a womb. That’s who’s negatively impacted by the existence of the 8th amendment. This is so much broader and larger than the incredibly narrow scope of the Protection of Life in Pregnancy Act; which as we’ve seen in the truly horrendous case of this young woman, won’t even be applied when it’s really, desperately needed, in the worst instance imaginable. Instead what it’ll be used for is to draw out this young woman’s horrible ordeal; that she’ll be promised that there is hope for her; that she will be treated with humanity and digity; that her wishes and needs will be respected. In short she will be lied to, further exploited, and her body violated horribly all over again.
