EARLY HUMAN LIFE THREATENED A recent European court (ECHR) decision is putting unnecessary pressure on Ireland to introduce abortion. And the Supreme Court here has ruled that human embryos outside the mother do not have Constitutional protection.

Unless we act now, there will be legislation permitting abortion in Ireland and destructive research on living human embryos.

Ireland, without abortion, is the safest country in the world for pregnant women.[1] In Britain, however, abortion is legal even up to birth - babies who survive abortion are simply left to die.[2]

WE’RE ASKING CANDIDATES AND PARTIES WHERE THEY STAND The Tuesday before polling, the Pro Life Campaign will publish Candidates’ responses.

To see their replies, check local media, our website, Facebook or Twitter, or text 085 215 1552 and we’ll send their replies to you.

Many issues are troubling voters, but no issue is more important than protecting life. How we treat the vulnerable measures how civilised we are as a society.

On February 25th, only vote for Candidates publicly committed to defending life.
