STAND UP FOR LIFE The FINAL rally to show our support for the 8th Amendment will take place on 12th May in Merrion Square in Dublin at 2pm. The event will be preceded by a large canvass event across Dublin from 11-1pm. The 8th Amendment has saved tens of thousands of lives. With a referendum taking place on 25th May to remove protection from unborn babies, please make every effort to attend the Stand Up For Life Rally and encourage others to do likewise. The Rally will demonstrate all that is great about Ireland’s 8th Amendment and showcase the many reasons why we should vote No to abortion on 25th May. Your presence is vital.
