People being manipulated

Madam Editor

I really hope that the Irish electorate sees, that they are being completely manipulated by those with a blatant disdain for the lives of unborn babies. Those driving such disdain include prominent members of our government, media and medical professionals, in a well funded pro-abortion lobby.

The whole plan to develop a legal framework to repeal the 8th Amendment, has been quite predictable and transparent. The Citizen’s Assembly and Oireachtas Committee on Abortion make shockingly radical proposals, while the Taoiseach and his government tell us that it’s too extreme, and they are not comfortable with the proposals. Thus trying to seem compassionate and moderate to the middle ground, attempting to sanitise the reality of issue even further. The social, political and medical leaders conveniently forget to mention that their proposals are about the intentional killing of babies, mostly of whom would be perfectly healthy, by violent abortion methods. And they want this to be paid for by the taxpayer in an already collapsing health system. I think they actually refer to it as “progress”!!

Yours faithfully, Maura McCaughey,
