The Facts of Choice
17 October 2016 @ 19:00 - 21:00
FreeWe need to talk about Choice. With Ireland’s outdated attitude to reproductive rights and women in general, it’s time to get real. Tara, Alison and a panel of experts will be dealing with facts, the whole facts and nothing but the facts about what pregnant people in Ireland face daily. The panel: Colm O’Gorman (executive director of Amnesty International Ireland); Dr. Ciara Kelly (Doctors for Choice); Dr. Vicky Conway (Lawyers for Choice); Linda Kavanagh (Abortion Rights Campaign) and more.
This is not one of the those “explosive debates” they seem to like on the telly.* We’re going to talk our way about what needs talking about with respect and care for anyone who has been through it, or is feeling confused by the inaccurate messages of anti choice campaigners and smears. Join us for an evening of solidarity, chat, fun and ideas for how to move forward. Maybe bring a friend who’s unsure. Our experts will help us sort reality from spin. The conversation has been hijacked for too long. We’re taking it back.
