A young Argentinian woman has died during an abortion only months after the country legalised the procedure.
It’s been a few years now since the 8th amendment was repealed from the Irish constitution, which brought in one of the most radical and liberal abortion regimes in the world. And so, in hindsight, now that we’ve seen the reality of it, the question must be asked; were the Irish people lied to about […]

Arlene Foster, Northern Ireland’s First Minister, has told the Secretary of State for the region, British MP Brandon Lewis, to “back off” on compelling Stormont to implement abortion laws.

When the leader of Sinn Féin walked through the streets of New York calling on England to “get out of Ireland”, she forgot to include an asterisk.

To mark International Women’s Day, The Labour Party published a new manifesto called Labour. Working for Women.

Nigeria has a problem. A big problem. For many years now, a radical Islamist insurgency has roiled its northeast. Boko Haram (literally “books are forbidden”), a terrorist group affiliated with ISIS, and several other actors in its mould, have brutalised the residents of these regions, particularly Christians, taking many lives and displacing millions. The defeat […]
