Ireland’s vote to remove constitutional protection for babies in the womb is being hailed as a great triumph for humanity. It’s nothing of the kind.
The cruel and barbaric procedures used to abort babies are an infamy – the antithesis of everything that a civilised society should hold dear.
Every three minutes of every day a baby is aborted in Britain – nearly 9 million since England paved the way for legal abortion. Some, with disabilities, are aborted up to birth.
Those who have exported this anti life culture, and those who have relentlessly promoted it, will one day be seen to have been on the wrong side of history. For now, we must simply weep for the children whose lives will be lost. There’s nothing here to celebrate.
