Send ready-to-go message to your local TDs on the link between ‘DIY’ home abortions and coercive abortion ()
[link removed]
The Pro Life Campaign is strengthening its call to members of the Oireachtas to press the Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly to stop sanctioning the dangerous practice of ‘DIY’ remote consultation home abortions.

Following the shocking new findings in the UK regarding the prevalence of coercive abortion in society and the recent admission from the HSE acknowledging the link between remote consultation home abortions and coercive abortion, now is the time for the Government to act. The Minister for Health however is refusing to honour the Government’s promise to end the practice of home abortions in line with Covid restrictions were being lifted.

To ensure the Minister for Health gets the message, please send a quick ready-to-go message to your Oireachtas Members asking them to make representations on your behalf to the Minister on this important issue.

Click here ([link removed]) and take 2 minutes to read and send the ready-to-go message.

Many thanks for your help in raising awareness and seeking a response from the Minister on this matter.

Listen to Eilís Mulroy’s interview on RTÉ’s Drivetime yesterday on the Three Year Review (#1)
[link removed]
Eilís Mulroy ()

Pro Life Campaign spokesperson Eilís Mulroy was interviewed yesterday evening by Sarah McInerney on RTÉ’s Drivetime about the Government’s Three Year Review of the abortion law and the meeting of the Oireachtas Health Committe that took place earlier in the week which only invited pro-abortion campaigners to participate.

Eilís did an excellent job on Drivetime in presenting the key recommendations from the PLC’s submission to the review, and in expressing concern about the Government’s refusal to date to deliver a fair and transparent process. Sarah McInerney gave her a reasonable opportunity at the start to make her points but changed tack towards the end as Eilís raised issues like the need for foetal pain relief for unborn babies during late term abortions and when she referenced the UCC research indicating that babies have survived the abortion procedure under Ireland’s new abortion law and have been left to die alone without receiving any medical care.

There was a stark contrast overall between the interview with Eilís and the interview Sarah McInerney conducted with the National Women’s Council the previous day, where she never took issue with any of the research cited or claims made in the interview.

Deputy Carol Nolan on the link between telemedicine and coercive abortion (#1)
[link removed]

Deputy Carol Nolan TD has reiterated her call for the Government to end telemedicine at home abortions after the HSE admitted there was a link between remote consultation abortion and women being pressured into having abortions they didn’t want. Deputy Nolan has called on the Minister for Health Stephen Donnely to take action on foot of the HSE’s admission, which was contained in a reply to a Parliamentary Question submitted by Ms Nolan.

Fair play Carol for keeping the pressure up on the Government!

Full Details on Regional Marches For Life taking place in May! (#1)
[link removed]
Have you heard about the upcoming Marches For Life that were announced a few weeks ago?

These regional events are being held in May to shine a spotlight on Ireland’s abortion law and to call for resources to put in place to support and inform women about positive alternatives to abortion.

All three events will have excellent speakers, be family friendly and build momentum for change.

A regional event will also take place in Dublin in September.

It’s time to raise our voices loudly and clearly. The silence surrounding the devastating impact of Ireland’s abortion law has to end.

Please help ensure the Regional Marches in May are a huge success! Make every effort to be present and encourage family and friends to do likewise. We would love to see you at the Regional events in May and bring friends and family.
