"WE WILL WIN"
There was another massive turnout at this year's All-Ireland Rally for Life in Dublin on Saturday 1st July. The crowds gathered in Parnell Square from 11am, and at 2pm, the march proceeded through Dublin City Centre to the main stage at Custom House Quay.
Protecting our unborn babies is a daunting and serious cause, but as always, the Rally for Life was a fun-filled, family day out, with colourful signs and balloons, music and uplifting and inspirational speeches.
Director of Precious Life, and co-founder of the Rally for Life, Bernadette Smyth was one of the keynote speakers. She "rallied up the troops " urging them to continue fighting the evil of abortion, and send out a clear message to the world that the pro-life people of Ireland WILL WIN in our efforts to make abortion not only illegal, but UNTHINKABLE.
