Pro-life Irish Supporters Protest moves to Legalise Abortion
Dublin: Thousands of pro-life supporters protested outside Irish Parliament following fears that the government was contemplating introduction of new laws allowing abortion.
Maintaining that everyone has a “right to be born”, the pro-life supporters are vehemently opposing a popular mood that wants mercy killing and euthanasia to be allowed for those who seek it.
They contend that God is the author of Life and only he can decide when life should end.
While the protest was prayerful and respectful, speakers reminded the crowds that some un-named "expert groups" have recommended to the Irish Government that the laws be changed to allow abortion in Ireland in certain cases.
Ireland is a Catholic country and sees abortion as an abomination and morally wrong.
While populations in many countries are no longer growing due to abortion, contraception and the culture of death in general, Catholic Ireland’s population is growing by 10% per annum.
Recently, however, an Indian woman Savita Halappanavar died at the Galway City University College Hospital due to a viral infection while pregnant.
This story was first aired by Kitty Holland of the Irish Times, Ireland’s leading secular newspaper and led many pro-abortion groups to hijack the secular media demanding greater access to abortion as a "right" for woman who wish to terminate their child’s life. Holland later stated that her story was fabricated and unfounded.
Ireland’s Catholic Church is under severe pressure by pro-abortion groups partly funded by American philanthropist Chuck Feeney, an American billionaire whose funding has undermined Catholic teaching and usurped democracy in Ireland.
The sight of some of the Catholic bishops in Ireland was of great comfort to the pro-life movements who organized the protest urging the Irish Government to protect the rights of the unborn.
It is ironical that the Irish Government whose Catholic Prime Minister Enda Kenny had recently attacked the Pope and the Vatican over what he saw as a failure to protect children, was in the same breath planning to introduce abortion - the ultimate form of child abuse.
