The broadcasting regulator has found that two programmes broadcast by Newstalk FM breached the Broadcasting Code in relation to impartiality because the presenters expressed their own views and advocated a partisan position on abortion. The Newstalk Breakfast show breached the broadcasting code, when presenter Ciara Kelly expressed strong support for abortion provision, the regulator found. “I would […]
Hats off to the Government PR machine for releasing the second annual lot of abortion figures on the same day that they reversed course and announced that indoor pints would not, after all, be on the menu. One story dominated the news, the other didn’t get much of a mention. Had it gotten a mention, […]
Baby Christopher RIP
What is interesting about this, aside from the abject moral corruption of the sisters of charity, which we will come to in a second, is why on earth there would be a question about doing gender reassignment surgery in a maternity hospital. If it is doing gender reassignment surgery, then it is not, to put […]
Amidst all the tiresome controversy around the proposed ethos of the new national maternity hospital, which is now slated to cost, naturally, some €800m, one thing has been forgotten: The Sisters of Charity, in an act of timeless folly, volunteered for this public whipping. After all, they are choosing to donate the land on which […]
Priorities.
The number of abortions being carried out on women in England and Waled continues to increase, with 209,917 abortions performed in 2020 – the highest number on record, according to new figures from the Department of Health. Pro-life groups said that their warnings that making ‘at-home’ or ‘DIY’ abortions more easily available during the Covid […]
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 […]
