After a full of year since the removal of the right to life of unborn children in Ireland, the terrible nature of that tragedy has yet to properly dawn over the Irish people.
Many of the 66% who voted Yes to removing the rights of unborn children from the constitution did so under the pretense that such an action was necessary for medical intervention in difficult pregnancies.
It was not necessary. Ireland’s low maternal mortality rate was a testament to that.
One does wonder if we will be given the same comprehensive abortion statistics that the United Kingdom (to their credit) publishes each year. Said statistics include the following pieces of information (which were laughed at by the willfully cognitive dissonant Repealers).
Repeat abortion rates as high as 40%
Women getting up to their 8th abortion
A significant number of under 16s getting repeat abortions
We will have more to say about the loss of the 8th amendment and the subsequent loss of life that came with it.
But for now, we would like to encourage everyone to start this new decade in hope rather than despair.
After a decade of austerity at the hands of a Globalist government, of endless millions of euro wasted on liberal feel good referendums while the country faced widespread poverty and homelessness and an epidemic increase in drug use.
We ask people to attend the Rosary Vigil for Life at Merrion Square on New Year’s Day in Dublin at 2pm.
Some Irish prolifers have been very vocal about their disdain for those who pray for help in this battle. In our humility we must remember that there is nothing in this world that cannot be accomplished through prayer, by the grace of God. Perhaps those prolife activists who are very assured of their own perfections should attend also and pray the Rosary and discover the power of asking Our Lady for assistance.
With a decade of despair behind us, let us pray for a decade of hope ahead.
