Muslim Doctors May Upset [Irish] Government Abortion Plans
The Irish Catholic ^ | 1/24/19 | Greg Daly

Ireland’s reliance on Muslim doctors in hospitals around the country may derail Government plans to roll out a national abortion service, a leading obstetrician has said.

Large numbers of non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) working in maternity units outside Dublin are Muslims from abroad, according to Dr Trevor Hayes of Kilkenny’s St Luke’s Hospital, who says he had been personally told that they have serious religious qualms about performing abortions.

“A lot of the NCHDs – a lot of the registrars and senior registrars and SHOs (senior house officers), so the front line – would be from Egypt, Sudan, and generally Muslim countries,” Dr Hayes told The Irish Catholic.

“These would be in the country hospitals, and because of that they have frontline exposure, and they would have religious objections to be involved in the abortion service.”

Dr Hayes, who was named Obstetrician of the Year in 2009 and 2013 by Maternity and Infant Magazine said a dependence on Muslim consultants is preventing Cavan General Hospital from introducing an abortion service, and that he suspects that conscientious objections from Muslims could block abortions from taking place in 12 of the country’s 19 maternity units.

“I’m not professing that I have huge knowledge about Islam, but they have religious objections to being involved in it,” he said.

Dire need

According to Dr Ali Selim, spokesman for the Dublin’s Islamic Culture Centre, abortion is unacceptable for Muslims except in cases of dire need. “In Islam abortion is the lesser harm, conducted only to save the mother’s life if all other options prove to be useless,” he told The Irish Catholic, adding: “Life is God’s gift.”

According to figures published by the Medical Council in 2016, roughly two out of five doctors registered to work in Ireland have trained abroad, with over three quarters......

How delicious! Silly western lefties who base their entire worldview on inverting all the positions of chrstianity (and thus whose causes are a freak show of inconsistency) are going to have to choose between moslems and abortion!

They'll probably ask themselves "which one do 'rednecks' hate the most?"

It’s okay to crush the God-given rights of Christian doctors, but we have to respect Muslims on the same issue. As usual, the anti-life globalist left makes no sense.

Christian doctors are much less likely to assassinate the administrator who orders them to violate their faith. Administrators are well aware of this.

Moslims are not going to save Christianity.

They are going to replace it.

Young people are becoming Moslim in significant numbers.

The culture that Christians have permitted and even encouraged is sick and toxic and people are looking for a stronger alternative.

Moslims have each other’s back when it comes to social issues, Christians are an embarrassing joke.

Not in my time, but in my children’s and certainly grandchildren’s time Moslims will overcome what is left of Christian-dom.

Very true. And it will turn out that true christians will have more in common with Muslim values than the cesspool that is feminism and cultural marxism.

Sooner than later reality will get its revenge.
