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. Mary-Lou McDonald, the Dublin leader of the party, is most definitely capable of delivering a speech in the Dáil, often calling out the blindspots of her opponents in […]
Last night (Monday) the Stormont Assembly voted 48 to 12 in support of a Democratic Unionist Party Bill that would ban abortion of unborn children with ‘non-fatal’ disabilities. There were 27 abstentions including all of the Sinn Féin MLAs. One wonders what the party bosses in the “core group” would have ordered the sheep to […]
Sinn Féin has been sharply criticised for its bid to ensure that abortion is more widely available in the north of Ireland. Political party Aontú, which has elected representatives throughout the island, said that Sinn Féín were “impatient to see the number [of abortions] increase”, after Mary Lou McDonald said her party would formally ask […]
The High Court has fixed a date for an action being brought by the parents of an unborn child who was aborted after doctors mistakenly insisted the baby had a condition which they described as a “fatal abnormality”.

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 […]
During her first press conference, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about President Joe Biden’s stance on certain abortion policies. “I will just take the opportunity to remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly,” Psaki responded. “He started his day attending church with his […]

Disability activists have warmly welcomed the formal publication of a Polish court ruling which bans abortion on disability grounds. “Bravo Poland. Across Europe, preborn babies with disabilities are being wiped out – more than 90% of babies with Down Syndrome aborted in some countries. Thank you Poland for banning abortion on disability grounds,” the Disability […]
Although the pro-life movement has faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalising abortion in the U.S., the movement continues to make legal and cultural gains. This is one of the latest. In July 2019, I wrote the blog “The Last Planned Parenthood Clinic in Missouri Again Evades Closure” about how the lone Planned Parenthood clinic […]
