In a minute, Iapos;m leaving to attend the Forty Women Protest in the city centre. Put simply:

"The 40 Women Protest, highlighting the number of women forced to travel outside of Northern Ireland on a weekly basis to obtain abortions."

While abortion is technically legal in Northern Ireland, the closest place you can get one performed is Liverpool. Itapos;s about time it stopped being treated like doing penance.

Nobody is pro-abortion. Nobodyapos;s handing out apos;yay abortionapos; balloons...But my body is my country, containing continents, and Iapos;m damned if somebody else is going to tell me, or my sisters, or my friends, what to do with theirs.

Which is why Iapos;m going. Northern Ireland is a place with a lot of religious fundamentalists. Should be a fun couple of hours.

Mine was a relatively easy tragedy
Now the profile of our country
Looks a little less hard nosed
But that picket line persisted
And that clinics since been closed
They keep pounding their fists on reality
Hoping it will break
But I dont think theres a one of us
Leads a life free of mistakes
- Lost Woman Song, Ani diFranco.
