Abortion censorship zones now in force across Ireland
The Christian Institute UK ^ | 22 October 2024

Posted on 10/30/2024 12:51:00 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

The Republic of Ireland has implemented censorship zones legislation banning prayer and offers of help to pregnant women outside abortion centres.

All locations where abortions take place, including GP surgeries, now have surrounding 100m zones criminalising anyone who hands out pro-life literature or speaks to anyone about abortion. This applies to houses and churches bordering public spaces, banning such activities from gardens, doorways or windows.

Under the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Act 2024, those who continue their conduct after being informed that it is prohibited may be fined or imprisoned up to six months.

‘Abortion is not safe’: In approving the Bill earlier this year, the Seanad rejected repeated attempts by Senator Mullen and Senator Keogan to introduce freedom of speech protections.

During the debate, Senator Mullen said: “It is quite clear that this legislation is unprecedented. It interferes with normal freedom of expression in a very surprising and unexpected way.”

He was critical of the way the legislation had been pushed through by the Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly TD, saying: “He has praised his officials for working night and day on an agenda to deprive the basic freedom of witnessing the dignity of every human life born and unborn.

“There is nothing safe about safe access zones. There is nothing safe about what happens to the unborn child in an abortion situation.”

Thousands: According to the most recent figures, the number of abortions in Ireland reached a record high last year…Overall, abortions have rocketed by 250 per cent since the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 repealed the Republic’s pro-life laws five years ago.

How sad that Ireland has gone to the Darkside. Abortion is the sacrament of Satan.

Hell will likely be filled with the souls of more women than men.

People need to remember that taking away the rights of one group of persons based on their beliefs simply paves the way to take away the rights of everybody often for no reason at all,except that it can be done.

A lot of women are pressured by men and get abortions on their behalf. Hence the false pretense of “reproductive freedom.”

*** A lot of women are pressured by men and get abortions on their behalf. ***

That may be true to some degree, but many men oppose abortion and actually try to convince the woman to keep the child. Unfortunately, they have no say in the matter, which is criminal. No offense, but your statement sounds too much like a typical female deflection technique. Accountability is not a common female asset. Too many women will somehow ultimately seek out men to blame for their shortcomings. That is just a fact. I am not a sexist, but the modern white liberal woman is a vicious being. Women don’t just get off the hook because they are women.

Eve ate from the tree, but God held Adam held accountable. If you visit the Scriptures, you will see that. 🍎

I agree. But the onus to abstain and treasure marriage and ultimately, God - is on men too.

Well, I am a "sexist," if that means that I notice that men generally act like men, and women like women.

And what I observe is that 1) men are very fearful, pushy, and domineering after they do the math and figure out that they could be accountable and very much on the hook if a woman they're carelessly schtupped out of wedlock decides to keep their baby and have a court bill him for support for the next 20 years. 2) And women want to be taken care of (sensibly and sanely enough), preferably by a man who gives a damn. And if they're not, and left in the lurch, they were probably unwise and a poor choice of character--but note that it's a downside of a virtue of theirs that the world will need till the end of said world--their ability to sometimes see someone as finer than he is, but something he genuinely can become.

So, somebody's gonna pay.

As a life strategy, acknowledging human nature, natural law, and the value of virtue pays huge dividends.

Or maybe women could learn to say no to sex unless they are married and/or ready to have a child...

Only a couple decades ago Ireland was one of the most conservative and catholic country in Europe.

Today they’re totally woke.

What happened?

I’d imagine it has to do with the Catholic Church compromising itself in some way…either by way of corruption or doctrine.

So put a sign in your window EVERYWHERE ELSE ACROSS THE DAMNED COUNTRY.

“Ireland, known for it’s prolife signs everywhere one travels”

If we had just required, beginning in the 70s, that all leftists were mandated to abort all their pregnancies, we’d be about over with this discussion by now.
