Ireland Abortions Hit Record High: One Baby Killed for Every Seven Babies Born
Life News ^ | 6/27/23 | Right to Life UK

Ireland has seen its highest number of abortions on record for 2022, with one abortion for every seven babies born.

Yesterday, the Department of Health in Ireland released its abortion statistics for 2022, which revealed there had been 8,156 abortions. This is the highest number of abortions since abortion was made legal in Ireland in 2018.

Due to a discrepancy in the 2021 abortion figures, which the Department of Health in Ireland blamed on COVID-19 and a cyber attack, only approximate numbers for the total number of abortions in Ireland in 2021 are available. Based on the approximate figure though, there were 6,700 abortions in Ireland in 2021, which means there was a 22% increase in abortions over a single year.

Pro Life Campaign spokesperson, Eilís Mulroy, said that the latest figures showed that for every seven babies born, one was aborted.

“It shows how the Irish abortion rate has dramatically jumped, as the result of a government which has shown a complete lack of interest in providing women in unplanned pregnancies with real alternatives to abortion. Politicians’ only focus now should be on reducing the numbers, not on making the abortion regime even more pervasive.”

“Even the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, in recent days has spoken of his concern with the exploding abortion rate … If Mr Varadkar is serious about seeing a decrease in the abortion rate, he urgently needs to focus on providing women in unplanned pregnancies with greater supports and alternatives to abortion. He must also engage with and listen to pro-life perspectives, instead of relying exclusively on abortion advocates in setting policy in this area”, she added.

Actually, that's not as bad as I thought it would be. I noticed that Ireland still has the highest birth rate in the West. In South Korea, there's one abortion for every two babies born.

That was my first thought, too.

Headline should probably read

One Irish Baby Killed for Every Six Muslim Babies Born or

Number of Irish Babies Aborted Annually Now Equals Number of Muslims Entering Country.

You should write a blog. That kind of headline might actually get these fools' attention!

Guess they haven’t found out how prevention works yet in Ireland.
