Ireland Labor Party Adopts New Position Supporting Abortions Up to Birth

The Labour Party in Ireland has adopted a policy to support making abortion legal up until birth without any restriction.

The policy was announced and voted through last Saturday 13 November, during their annual party conference. Since the repeal of the Eighth Amendment in 2018, abortion has been legal on demand up until 12 weeks of pregnancy.

In addition to making abortion legal up until birth, Labour’s new policy seeks to remove the current 3-day waiting period between initial consultation and abortion, as well as remove the right of medical professionals to conscientiously refuse to be involved in abortion.

Ellen O’Sullivan of Labour Women introduced the motion on behalf of Tipperary, saying: “The barriers to access free, safe, legal and local abortions are numerous and for many people they are too great to overcome”.

The motion was passed later that day.

If abortions were frequently fatal for the mother, the practice would cease rather quickly.

Would you have ever guessed in a million years that when society came to be dominated by women the most important thing to them would become the savage killing their own babies?
