London, 20/08/2014. Today, a demonstration organised by "Abortion Rights East London" was held outside the Irish embassy in London, simultaneously with a pro-choice demonstration held in Dublin. The aim of the protest was (from the organisers' online press release): <<to demonstrate against the Irish government's horrendous treatment of a young woman, pregnant as a consequence of rape, who was suicidal and refused a lawful abortion under the Protection of Life in Pregnancy Act 2014. We think this is barbaric. We're meeting at 6pm outside the Irish Embassy to protest the gross violence and injustice visited upon the unnamed woman, and to call for Ireland to repeal the 8th amendment, which bans abortion>>.
