Galway Bay fm newsroom – Galway Pro Choice campaigners will hold a demonstration in the city this evening.
The group says its protest is part of a national series of events being held in solidarity with a 21 year old woman who is facing prosecution in Northern Ireland on charges of procuring an abortion.
Galway Pro Choice says the Offences Against the Person Act of 1861 is ‘archaic,’ and the abortion provision of the act should be repealed in Northern Ireland as it has been in the rest of the UK.
The demonstration will take place at Galway Courthouse at 6 this evening.
