Pro-choice groups are calling on the Government to repeal the eighth amendment, which bans abortion.
Several groups will come together for a major conference in Dublin's Gresham Hotel this morning to discuss strategies and tactics.
The Eighth Amendment equates the right to life of a pregnant woman, with that of an embryo or foetus.
The case of 'Ms Y' - an asylum seeker who was recently denied an abortion after being raped, will be discussed at today's conference.
Earlier this week, Minister James Reilly said the government was "reflecting" on whether abortion should be permitted in cases of rape.
Alibhe Smyth is part of the "Coalition to Repeal the Eighth Amendment".
She's organising today's conference, and says the current Protection of Life During Pregnancy Legislation does NOT protect women.
