DUBLIN, July 8, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An organizer of a massive pro-life rally in Dublin says she and the other key figures were "jubilant" at the turn-out of seven thousand people on Saturday. Bernadette Smyth, Director of Belfast's Precious Life, also told LifeSiteNews.com that pro-life leaders in Ireland are especially encouraged by a growing cooperation between North and South in the pro-life movement in Ireland.
A major breakthrough of the pro-life campaigns in all of Ireland, she said, has been the growing awareness that if legalized abortion is forced into Northern Ireland, it will be effectively made available in the Republic of Ireland as well.
The All-Ireland Rally for Life was organized by a cross-border coalition of pro-life groups such as Youth Defence, the Life Institute, and Precious Life.
Smyth told LSN, "If abortion becomes legal in the north, it becomes legal in the south. It's only a car journey across the border. Irish children will die regardless of whether it is in the north or the south."
