Spokeswoman for the 26 secondary school pupils who attended the feminist club’s demonstration, Sylvia Thomas-Edmond, said members of the Family Life International Catholic organisation should not be protesting against abortion outside the hospital.
“It is a big decision to have an abortion and an even harder thing to go through with,” Ms Thomas-Edmond said.
“We also think that every woman should have the right to choose what she does with her body.”
Four members of the Catholic group quietly stood, saying the rosary, 50 metres away from the student protest.
