As Ireland gears up for a historic referendum to determine the future of its abortion law, the pro-life campaign is making its voice heard by any means possible.

In their latest public show of opposition to the repeal, pro-life campaigners drew up a massive “No” in the Dublin mountains, south of the capital city. One reporter even noted that the “No” sign, placed in a rural area beyond the city, was being guarded by a live bull.

The group stated that it had erected the sign in an attempt to engage in “more innovative methods of communication” as its message had been censored by radio and TV, according to thejournal.ie.

On Friday 25 May, the Irish population will head to the polls to determine the fate of an amendment which places an equal “right to life” on both mother and unborn child. If the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution is repealed, it will pave the way for increasingly progressive abortion laws in this historically pro-life nation.
