Landmark ruling will liberalise abortion law in province

The High Court in Belfast has ruled that Northern Ireland's abortion legislation is in breach of human rights laws.

“Evil men will wax worse and worse...”

No, we’ll never push this back. Only the end of the Age will remedy the evil.

The abortion enthusiasts want more abortion in the name of Human Rights.

Which is like wanting more BBQ in the name of Veganism.

I hope the Northern Irish people, who are still pretty Christian, will not stand for this.

Making child sacrifice illegal is the only way to delay the wrath of God. If this was our second time, there is no delay. As far as I could find out historically, it was the doctors who made sure it was illegal in the early 1900’s, but finding out the truth is hard online.
