"Never tire of doing what is right" - Dr Dermot Kearney tells PLC National Conference ()
Dr Dermot Kearney addressing the Pro Life Campaign National Conference (http://)

Watch here ([link removed]) Dr Dermot Kearney’s outstanding keynote address at the Pro Life Campaign National Conference 2022, which took place in the RDS Dublin on Saturday 12th November.

Dr Kearney came to public prominence last year for his work in helping mothers to reverse the effects of taking the first abortion pill, thereby saving the lives of numerous babies from certain death. He was cleared recently by the UK’s General Medical Council after a series of complaints were made against him by abortion supporters with regard to his life saving work.

Reflecting on the past year and all the ups and downs he faced, Dr Kearney told pro-life supporters at the conference to “never tire of doing what is right” and added “but do it with courage, do it with honesty and do it with love.”

His conference address is well worth watching. Click here ([link removed]) to view it and share the link with family and friends.

Pro-Life article published in Law Society Gazette ()

Eilís Mulroy, solicitor and Chief Executive Officer of the Pro Life Campaign had an article published last week in the Law Society Gazette, about the Three Year Review of Ireland's abortion law and why, if the review is to have any legitimacy, it must engage meaningfully with a range of perspectives. It is an uphill challenge getting the pro-life perspective heard but it’s also true that we must avail of every possible opportunity to get our life-affirming message out to the public.

Huge increase in number of babies aborted with Down syndrome since law changed ()

The Master of the Rotunda Hospital Fergal Malone has confirmed that up to 95% of unborn babies diagnosed with Down syndrome at the hospital are aborted in Britain.

It represents a significant increase from the reported 57% of unborn babies diagnosed with Down Syndrome in 2016 at the same hospital that were subsequently aborted.

Most regrettably, the arguments from the ‘No’ campaign in 2018 that abortion legislation would see a massive increase in the rate of abortions, including of babies with Down Syndrome, has come to pass.

In his interview last week with The Irish Times, Dr Malone casually threw in the remark that the introduction of abortion had not led to “the floodgates opening”. The statistics he himself quoted show this to be utterly false, in addition to the official figures published by the Department of Health which reveal that there has been more than a 70% increase in Irish abortions overall in the first three years of the new law taking effect.

Meanwhile, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) has repeated its call for legal changes to broader the grounds for late term abortions in situations where the unborn baby has a life-limiting condition.

The new law permits late term abortions in situations where the baby will likely die before or within 28 days of birth. The changes to the law that the IHREC are seeking would remove these qualifications and in effect permit abortion up to birth in any situation where a disability is detected in the baby.

The Human Rights and Equality Commission is supposed to look out for the most vulnerable members of society and stand up for their rights. They have completely abandoned their stated mission when they cannot be relied upon to defend the rights of unborn babies from unjust attack and having their lives ended, simply because they have a disability. By its actions, the IHREC is allowing discrimination against people with a disability to foster as they are lending their support unwittingly or not to the idea of singling out certain categories of people and deeming them unworthy of protection under the law.
