Pro-choice campaigners staged a rally in Dublin's city centre today calling for a range of reproductive rights for women, including abortion.
Over 120 thousand Irish women have travelled to the UK to terminate their pregancies since 1990.
A recent M-R-B-I poll found that more than half of people aged between 18 and 25 are favour of abortion on request.
"The rally today is about calling for all sorts of reproductive rights - mainly for the right of women to access abortion services in Ireland," said Sinead Ahern of Choice Ireland.

A count was done by Choice Ireland - we counted about 170 present at the rally.
Also, the person speaking in the final photograph is Mary Favier of Doctors For Choice.

Keep it up,its a disgrace that Ireland is stuck in the dark ages on this issue.
A womans body is her own business,its sadly still a case of the backward attitudes of the Catholic church colouring state policy.
Onwards!

A doctor (I think) speaks out in favour of safe and legal abortion.
