An estimated 60,000 babies have been killed through abortion in Ireland since 2019. Staggering as this is, it does not seem to discourage politicians from pushing to further liberalise abortion safeguards.
The world has never seen this before – a nation collectively deciding to strip unborn children of their rights. May 25, 2018, was a day when many in Ireland, and those following closely from other countries, had their hearts shattered. There was a deep sense of hopelessness when the results of the referendum came in and it was declared that the people of Ireland had voted to remove the constitutional protection of the unborn child. On official government websites now it is declared that you can flush the, as pro-abortion people call it, “clump of cells” down the toilet after an abortion; that is how far the nation became desensitised. A nation that once valued its faith and the protection of the unborn, where Catholicism was embedded in its native language, where a simple greeting such as “Dia dhuit” (“God be with you”) reflects this heritage, where for many years people were willing to die for their faith, seemingly turned its back on God and its heritage on one of the darkest days in Irish history.
