Protest planned at abortion case

It's after a woman was denied an abortion under the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act and had to deliver her baby by caesarean section.

The young woman at the centre of the case says she was raped in her home country and only discovered that she was pregnant when she moved to Ireland.

Yesterday it emerged she had attempted to take her own life at 16 weeks pregnant.

Sarah McCarthy, spokesperson with Galway Pro-Choice, says this case highlights major flaws in the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act.
