Pro-life groups have challenged the government to do more to provide women with real alternatives when faced with an unexpected pregnancy as research showed nine out of ten Irish family doctors are not providing abortion. “It’s a significant finding, as clearly doctors – the people most likely to best understand the reality of abortion – […]
Three years ago this week, those of us who voted for, and campaigned against, the abortion referendum, were on the wrong side of an electoral kicking. The voters, in their questionable wisdom, decided to vote for what the Yes campaign said would be a more compassionate Ireland for women. Many of our readers will regret […]
The headline above is entirely accurate, and, at the same time, a little misleading. You might think, to read it, that the various main party candidates in the Dublin Bay South bye-election were engaged in a war over the legality of abortion, with one or two expressing a pro-choice view, and one or two dissenting. […]
Events were held around the country to remember babies whose lives have been ended by abortion to mark the third anniversary of repeal of the 8th amendment which protected the right to life of the unborn child. The Life Institute gathered at the Dáil yesterday to remember the 6,666 unborn children whose lives were ended […]
We were told, weren’t we, that repealing the 8th would make this a better, more caring, more compassionate country – especially for women. Three years since the referendum that’s certainly not the case. Last month, a heavily pregnant, homeless woman was beaten so savagely in Dublin city centre that she lost her baby. That pregnant women are homeless […]
Towards the tail end of the Trump Presidency, there was much consternation amongst pro-choice people, and much celebration amongst pro-life people, at Trump’s successful replacement of iconic liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with star conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Amongst those who watch the Supreme Court, the perception was that the move would […]
A group of TDs are co-sponsoring a new bill which seeks to ensure that pain relief will be given to unborn babies who are aborted after 20 weeks gestation. Describing it as a humane and reasonable proposal, the TDs said that the measure was worthy of majority support in the Dáil. In recent months […]
RTÉ Radio 1 presenter Brendan O’Connor has been praised online for his handling of renowned atheist Richard Dawkins.
Ann Kioko is a big deal in the Kenyan pro-life community. The 32-year-old is the Africa Campaigns Director for CitizenGo, an international online petition platform pledged to “defend and promote life, family and liberty.” In one of her most stunning successes in this role, she led a campaign which convinced the government of Kenya to suspend the operations of Marie Stopes […]
Irish doctors are being trained in how to perform gruesome late-term abortions known as Dilation and Evacuation, despite assurances from our government during the referendum that this wouldn’t happen. Polls have shown most people are opposed to late-term abortion. Ben Scallan comments. #gript
In a rare display of like-mindedness, the New Zealand Parliament a couple of weeks ago unanimously passed a bill adding three days to a working woman’s bereavement leave to cover the miscarriage or still-birth of a child. The new entitlement extends to spouses and partners, including a separated biological parent, to couples adopting an expected […]
Last week, Gript highlighted the fact that senior Irish doctors are undergoing “international training” in a late-term abortion method known as Dilation and Evacuation, with a view to carrying out such abortions in this country. During the abortion referendum of 2018, the public was given repeated public assurances that this kind of abortion would […]
