Here's a posting on the Labor Party's call for "abortion legislation" - legalization.
In response the Pro-Life Campaign said:"Every six months or so the Labour Party calls for abortion legislation one assumes to placate its more radical support base. However, the right-to-life issue is far too important for such cynical exercises.
If Labour were sincere about finding meaningful solutions to this difficult issue, it would refrain from using lazy pro-abortion rhetoric and begin to acknowledge the compelling research that has come to light showing how abortion impacts negatively on women.Labour claims that its pro-abortion policy is designed to protect the welfare of women is nonsense when you factor in their decision to ignore the most recent studies from New Zealand and Norway showing the long-term negative consequences of abortion.******
There is something inherently hypocritical about a political party claiming to want to build a more inclusive and compassionate society while at the same denying the humanity of unborn children." Pro Life Campaign.
And here is a second posting of the latest survey on attitude toward abortion in Ireland -
