A new study has found that the number of abortions on babies with life-limiting conditions has doubled since abortion legislation was introduced in Ireland in January of this year. The Irish Independent reports that a conference of the Irish Congress of Obstetricians, Gynaecology and Perinatal Medicine heard that the new law saw an increase in the number […]
A former Labour supporter, Tim Stanley, compares the party of Jeremy Corbyn with that of Attlee and Harold Wilson in the Telegraph, asking ‘Why does socialism have to go hand-in-hand with decriminalising abortion?’. Abortion was partially decriminalised by Harold Wilson’s government, in that the Liberal MP David Steel’s 1967 Abortion Act exempted doctors from prosecution […]
Right to Life UK have released a new video asking voters to “vote for life” in today’s General Election as the abortion regime in the UK is called increasingly into question by both sides of the debate. Whilst Labour and the Liberal Democrats have promised to expand the law to allow greater access to abortion, […]
In an open letter, more than 400 clergy members of the Church of England have criticised their bishops ‘for not standing up for the Church’s official teaching on abortion’ – that in ‘most cases’, abortion ‘is wrong’ because ‘the unborn child has the potential to “develop relationships, think, pray, choose and love”’; in view of […]
The important thing to note here is that there has been no “cure” discovered for Downs Syndrome.

Parsing a non-story in Saturday’s Irish Independent tells us a sad and genuine story about the state of the conscience of our nation. But it needs parsing. The paper reported on what was essentially a non-issue – they as good as said so, but still had to give us about 700 words – about the […]
While Marx as the Mystic Meg of the inevitability of socialism has long since lost any credibility outside of the unreconstructed far left, and people who have never actually read him for the most part, he is still an important figure. The first volume of Capital stands as an excellent work of economic history. It […]
We all know that the current Minister for Children, Katherine Zappone, has an almost missionary zeal when it comes to spreading the ideology of abortion under the euphemisms of ‘reproductive rights’ and ‘reproductive justice.’ The Minister’s latest jaunt to push this agenda, at the taxpayers’ expense, was her trip to the Nairobi Summit in Kenya […]
Do 9-12 year old children really need to know about masturbation and transgenderism?
The plan by The UN Population Fund to host a recent government conference on “sexual and reproductive health” in Kenya backfired as Kenyans fought back attempts to export Western sexual norms into Africa.
