Big guns aim to repeal the Eighth rather than tackle the country’s real problems

SIR, Today Ireland stands on the edge of the precipice against a background of a health service that is in extreme difficulty, thousands homeless, thousands of children with no home to go to, and the banks whom we bailed out not too long ago once again counting their millions in profit, and their legal eagles lining up people they are planning to evict as soon as possible.

Added to this you have the ‘carpet baggers’ from abroad descending like vultures to again evict people whose mortgages they have purchased from the captains and the kings of industry for paltry sums, all in the name of progress. On our city doorways the homeless shivering in the cold of the night with some misfortunes dying there. The God of Mammon is back in business. Instead of giving their undivided attention to our woes the big guns, aided by the left, the far left, the looney left and a number of unnamed organisations, have now turned their attention on the unborn. They want to repeal the Eighth Amendment and what do they propose to put in its place? Nothing, except unrestricted abortion for the first 12 weeks and after they have achieved that, which I hope they never will, then we will be well on the road to God knows where.

Abortion in the U.K. has resulted in the deaths of over eight and a half million babies since it was introduced in 1967.

Abortion, which is the fancy name for the killing of the unborn, is a multi million pound business and some of the vampires who operate these very profitable clinics are secretly funding organisations to promote abortion outside of the U.K.

Those people who sat on the Oireachtas Committee and proposed that there should be no obstacles put in the way, and abortion should be available to all for the first twelve weeks. What a frightening and sickening statement to make where the destruction of a baby’s life is discussed with the same ease as a child tears a page from a book.

I do not accept Darwin’s theory that we descended from the ape but after listening to some of the statements from the Oireachtas Committee, I believe we are heading in that direction fast.

I am sure that many of you are familiar with Down Syndrome children, which I believe is God’s greatest gift to us. They are the nearest to perfection and to God that we can ever hope to be. Ninety five percent of these angels are aborted in England every year. We must all clearly understand that where arbitrary is presented as absolute, there is no morality.

We are all entitled to our opinion but not our own facts. In the name of our past generations, when people’s conscience was their crown, give a resounding ‘no’ to those which now wish to repeal the Eighth Amendment.

I am firmly convinced that on the day of General Judgment, God will have to wear a pair of hobnailed boots, he will have so many arses to kick.

Sincerely,

Sean Quinlan P.C
