Commemoration at NI Assembly for babies killed by abortion
On Tuesday 21st October - the anniversary date of Westminster forcing abortion on Northern Ireland - we took our poignant display of Baby Shoes to Stormont.
The baby shoes, and white crosses were laid at the steps of Parliament Buildings. The shoes, each with a boy’s or girl’s name attached, represented a life taken by abortion. We were joined for the commemoration by DUP MLA Harry Harvey.
We publicly exposed the Political Parties - SDLP, Sinn Féin, Alliance, and People Before Profit - that supported Westminster imposing abortion on Northern Ireland.
By bringing our Display to Stormont, we ensured these Parties were confronted with a stark reminder of the consequences of their actions.
Through our Repeal Section 9 Campaign, we will continue calling on the people of Northern Ireland to speak up; contact their representatives; and demand the repeal of Section 9. We must never forget these precious lives, and we will never stop fighting for the unborn until their full legal protection is restored.
LOBBY FOR LIFE
As part of this 6th Anniversary Commemoration, we held a LOBBY FOR LIFE Week. Many people have been contacting their Assembly Members and MPs to express their outrage that more than 10,000 babies have been killed over the past 6 years, and asking them to do everything within their power to Repeal Section 9 and restore protection for our unborn babies.
Our Lobby For Life ensured Assembly Members and MPs heard the message loud and clear from the pro-life people of Northern Ireland :
- - 79% of respondents to a NI Public Consultation opposed abortion being imposed on Northern Ireland. Abortion is not in our name
- - We are opposed to taxpayer's money being used to pay for the killing of over 10,000 babies, while the Health Service is in crisis due to lack of funding
- We want our elected representatives to Repeal Section 9 of the NI Executive Formation Act 2019
- - We want our elected representatives to restore full legal protection for ALL unborn babies in Northern Ireland
- - We want our elected representatives to make a commitment to provide women in unexpected pregnancy with life-affirming, compassionate solutions to their difficulties.
