Northern Ireland’s High Court Rules Abortion a Human Right
Church Militant ^ | 10/4/19 | William Mahoney

Baby Ella's termination, the catalyst for the ruling

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (ChurchMilitant.com) - Northern Ireland's High Court of Justice ruled Thursday that the region's current law that prohibits abortion in most cases is a human rights violation.

In 2013, Sarah Ewart sought to abort her child, Ella, after doctors told her the child would not survive outside the womb.

Ewart went to London to terminate her child after she was denied an abortion in Northern Ireland, since Northern Irish law only permits abortion for the life of the mother or to prevent permanent physical or mental damage.

Ewart joined her abortion story to the latest legal challenge after the court rejected previous cases based on a technicality, namely, that the plaintiff would need to be a woman wanting an abortion due to fatal fetal abnormality or rape.

"Today's ruling is a turning point for women in their campaign against the outdated laws prohibiting against abortion in Northern Ireland," said Ewart after the ruling.

"It should never have had to come to this. Today's ruling is a vindication of all those women who have fought tirelessly to ensure that we never again have to go through what I did in 2013," she added.

In medicine an murdered baby is called “products of conception” rather than the simpler...and more accurate...”baby”.

It is my right.

I am past wondering.

Bible verse after verse fits with today’s World. The verses about the last days.

The end Will come. When it does, man (even socialist democrats), cannot stop it.

Why would Pope Francis invite Bernie Sanders to the Vatican, prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential election?

SANDERS: Well, Martha, the answer is yes. And the answer has everything to do with the fact that women in the United States of America, by the way, have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions.

And the Mexico City agreement, which denies American aid to those organizations around the world that are — that allow women to have abortions or even get involved in birth control, to me is totally absurd. So I think, especially in poor countries around the world where women do not necessarily want to have large numbers of babies, and where they can have the opportunity through birth control to control the number of kids they have, it’s something I very, very strongly support.

Let that sink in. Controlling who is born or not born is ultimate power and has been abused in the past as it is now.

More chlamydia, more syphilis, more cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea, more reckless sex and more women pitifully cramping and expelling the remains of their children into the toilet (think of it as sexual bulimia) --- more depression and anxiety and self-disgust --- more rubble of small dismembered bodies; more lacerated cervixes and uteruses and as the years go on, more hormone-responsive neoplasms like breast cancer ---

But at least everybody's happy and the sex is great. Right? Right?
