Ireland’s tragedy
“We now have the right to control our own bodies” Who then speaks on behalf of the unborn child?
At the recent Referendum held on 25th May 2018 regarding whether to repeal the 8th Amendment to Ireland’s Constitution, 66.4% voted in favour of repeal and 33.6% voted against; a figure of about two-to one, in favour of repealing the 8th Amendment. The ‘right to life of the unborn child’ is protected by Article 40.3.3 of Ireland’s Constitution (known as the 8th Amendment). The 8th Amendment recognises the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn child. Now the way has been opened for legalised child murder to occur in Ireland. But this Life and Death struggle is very far from over. Soon the wholesale killing of children in the womb will be legalised in the Republic of Ireland.
