From Abortion Rights:
Protest Tuesday 21st October - 5.30pm onwards
Old Palace Yard, outside Parliament, St Stephen's entrance.
Emergency protest to show the strength of pro-choice opinion ahead of the final abortion votes in Parliament the following day.
The protest has been called to oppose further anti-abortion attempts to drive back women's fundamental rights and support the first Parliamentary opportunity in a generation to improve the law for women and extend rights to Northern Ireland.
All pro-choice supporters welcome!

I'm sure that's fine. At the last one people arrived at different times and the protest lasted several hours (I didn't stay still the end so I can't say exactly how long - 3 hours maybe?).
