Thousands took part in a Belfast rally against the imposition of an extremely permissive abortion law on the North by Westminster. Abortion will be decriminalised up to the point of foetal viability which is more liberal than the British law.
The NI Voiceless initiative was set up by citizens who object to the people of Northern Ireland not being consulted on the new law.
One of the organisers, Sarah Crutchley, said: “We are heartbroken over the change in Northern Ireland and we want to express our sorrow, because the right to life of unborn children has been totally disregarded.
“We are also here to stand for unity, to shine a light for life.
“We want a life-affirming society here, where every life is valued and no death is chosen.
“We want to stand, speak and serve for the lives of unborn children and for women in need.”
