On Friday, Ireland is set to hold a referendum to allow abortion in state hospitals. The 8th Amendment to that country’s constitution recognizes a right to life for babies from conception. The referendum would repeal that amendment, and the government is prepared to push legislation allowing abortion up to 12 weeks. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Abortion Advocates Are Being Dishonest. Pro-lifers have been advertising using Down Syndrome children – pointing out, correctly, the eugenics-driven campaign to annihilate Down Syndrome children from the population via abortion. This drove Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar to condemn pro-lifers: “As the father of a child with Down’s syndrome, I am opposed to the propagandistic use of people like my son in attempts to limit reproductive rights, as has happened in the Irish debate, as well as in the legislative actions taken in various American states to outlaw the abortion of fetuses with Down’s syndrome.” So, in other words, pay no attention to the fact that people are systematically eliminating children with Down Sydrome from the population – mentioning that is inconvenient.
