Ireland Repeals the Eighth [Abortion] [ed]
National Review ^ | June 7, 2018 | Michael Brandan Dougherty

America partly inspired the Eighth Amendment to Ireland’s constitution. And so it is fitting that pro-life Americans should note its passing. Shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court discovered a right to privacy in the 1965 case Griswold v. Connecticut, an Irish supreme court, in 1974, discovered a previously unknown right to “family privacy” in the Irish constitution. Both worked to facilitate the sale or use of contraception. The Griswold precedent was important to deciding Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion. Anti-abortion activists in Ireland could sense what was coming if they did not act.

I wonder if the Abortionists LIED there, like they LIED to the US Extreme Court (which was biased toward abortionism anyway) in order to get Roe vs. Wade through? Don’t forget Jane Roe, of Roe vs. Wade! (Her real name was Norma McCorvey.) SHE LIED about being raped just to generate public sympathy for lax Federal abortion laws, and even tho the case was MOOT by then, (because she had already HAD the baby!) the BIASED US Extreme Court still found in her favor. Of course, she regretted it the rest of her life, became a Christian, and worked to STOP abortion till she died last November. Still, she is responsible for perhaps more deaths than Mao Zedong!

Pro-life factions in Ireland are demanding a recount because they cite indications that the voting was tampered with. Soros has been pouring money into Ireland to destabilize it. He has done this in several other European nations and has been thrown out of England, France and Hungary over his manipulations.
