The Pro Life campaign has accused the Minister for Health Simon Harris of 'railroading abortion proposals' through the Dáil after he offered reassurances that legislation to introduce services is not far off. Organisers at today's rally pointed to the fact that despite May's vote, women continue to travel to the UK to seek terminations. When pressed on the fact that services remain unavailable four months later, Minister Harris said that it is important to get things right. In response to Minister Harris' plans to bring the legislation to the Dail next week, the Pro Life campaign him of railroading abortion proposals through the Oireachtas. "Minister Harris promised during the referendum campaign that there would be 'ample time' to debate the provisions of the abortion legislation," she said.
