BOTH LIVES MATTER is a collaborative movement of individuals & organisations that seeks to re-frame the abortion debate in Northern Ireland. We are hosting an evening on Monday, 14th May @ 7.30 in Radisson Blu Hotel, to look at abortion, the law and the implication of any changes to abortion law North & South. We want to re-humanise this debate and create a life affirming culture that values each woman and her unborn child. We would love you to join us on this evening.
