Last weekend's March For Choice was a momentous occasion in the struggle to repeal the 8th amendment to the Constitution.

With the campaign gaining ever more traction, some opponents are trying to diminish the Repeal movement by arguing that it's only "the usual suspects" who support it - namely, "liberal students from Dublin universities, Trotskyites, Shinners and Anti-Austerity Alliance". In response, lots of Irish women and men started using Twitter last night to introduce themselves, give a bit of background information, and state their reason for supporting the Repeal movement under the hashtag #KnowYourRepealers. https://twitter.com/NWCI/status/780872410786590720 It's really heartening to see just how varied the support is from around the country - and beyond. Here are just some of those who are taking part: https://twitter.com/PantiBliss/status/780893845936541696 https://twitter.com/Daracho/status/780881753338699777 https://twitter.com/UnaMullally/status/780894183426969601 https://twitter.com/AhJaysusHowaya/status/780891269639901184 https://twitter.com/MaryMcAuliffe4/status/781020238938828800 https://twitter.com/joancooke5/status/780895239120818176 https://twitter.com/MarianKeyes/status/780874245987532800 https://twitter.com/Sarah___Waldron/status/780890517676646400 https://twitter.com/darraghdoyle/status/780881208469323780 https://twitter.com/RuthCoppingerTD/status/780886378636804096 https://twitter.com/gerryheed/status/780841276086292480 https://twitter.com/fiachrax/status/780830366466801665 https://twitter.com/robertjhogan/status/780820560435609601 https://twitter.com/teragramFLIP/status/780812638016143360 Just amazing.
