GALWAY, Ireland, January 7, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The euphoria of the “Yes” campaign on winning the Irish abortion referendum last May is turning decidedly sour.
Not only are those who campaigned for a ‘yes’ vote complaining that the measures that have been rapidly introduced by a compliant government to kill the unborn are not enough, the same people who campaigned for freedom from the then existing restrictions on abortion now wish to restrict the rights of those morally opposed to abortion.
The strategy by which the pro-abortion side wish to silence debate on abortion is through censorship zones, similar to those deployed in the UK around abortion centers. These zones prevent peaceful witness close to abortion centers, as well as prohibiting the offer of practical and emotional support to pregnant women, and the offer of an alternative to abortion.
On January 3, 2019, a group of 7 men and women stood outside the Galvia West Medical Centre in Galway for a few hours on Thursday morning. These pro-life witnesses carried a number of placards reading “There’s always a better option”, “Love them both,” “Say no to abortion in Galway”. The group left just before lunchtime.
One of those participating in this pro-life witness, Maria Mahoney, told LifeSite:
The demonstration was a group of local residents who were horrified to find out that the only doctor to be dispensing abortion pills in Galway City was right in the middle of their Westside shopping centre, library, and playground. My friend found out that one of the doctors in the Galvia Medical Centre was on the government abortion hotline and then told us about it and helped organise the protest.

The left cries for tolerance when out of power.
When in power - they crush and silence all dissent.
If abortion is ever returned to the states the pro life states can then offer to take the children in, including those from other countries. We need Americans being raised by Americans even if they are not biological parents. With the internet and Skype the children need not be forgotten.
Whatever leftoid, Frankfurt-school type group infiltrated the Irish government during the past decade or two should be given a medal for its fantastic success — then all the group’s members should be taken out back and shot.
Sic semper leftoids.
Bump
Looks like the snakes have at last invaded Ireland.
They did not gradually infiltrate, and the Roman Catholic Church (both clergy and laity) handed the power to accomplish this too them.
As the murder of innocents soaks every last square mile of the human habitation in blood will the tribulation finally start?
No Ireland anymore.
Didn’t Varadkar say that doctors who object to performing abortions will be forced to offer them anyway? Also, they are changing sex education here to promote the gay agenda and transgenderism and all schools will be forced to teach the kids this filth.
I wonder if Patrick knows the snakes have com back.
The leftism of Irish republicanism predates the Frankfurt school by quite a bit. It goes all the way back to Wolfe Tone and the French Revolution.
