In the past year, Catholic Arena has repeatedly warned of incoming ‘Anti Prayer’ legislation in Ireland.
Although termed ‘Exclusion Zone’ by Ireland’s increasingly bureaucratic and euphemism driven state, there is a particularly nasty anti religious under current.
The legislation is aimed towards criminalising anyone who might in any way shape or fashion deter someone from potentially aborting their baby.
Ireland, unlike the UK or the USA, does not have stand alone abortion clinics. Abortions are completed at Maternity Hospitals. The radius of these zones is such that many churches adjacent to hospitals are covered by the legislation. This means that blessing one’s self on the grounds of a church, praying the Rosary or simply walking around the grounds of a church could see you prosecuted.
Could not happen?
It’s happening now in the United Kingdom, to Isabel Vaugh Spruce and others, who have been charged and persecuted under these grounds.
With emigration, suicide and drug use soaring in Fine Gael/Fianna Fail uniparty’s Ireland, it is no wonder that they are so focused upon producing ridiculous pieces of ‘legislation’ aimed at delighting their voter bases, with no requirement.
This legislation has been passed based on no incidents of intimidation and no evidence of their need, which has been repeated by the Garda Commissioner on numerous occasions.
With an election looming, Irish people barely know which issue to begin with in opposition to this government. It is looking increasingly likely that Sinn Fein will form a significant role in the next government, though with ‘right wing’ parties like Fine Gael, it surely cannot get any worse.
