Hundreds of pairs of baby shoes convey tragic loss of life brought about by Westminster's unjust Abortion Law says Smyth

  • Baby shoes spell out the colossal waste of life since Section 9 of NI Executive Formation Act
  • Just one of the pairs of baby shoes on display at last Saturday's event

The event marked the second anniversary when Westminster stepped in and passed an amendment in a cunning display before an empty chamber in the dead of night, unjustly overriding the Northern Ireland Assembly to legalise abortion – on 21st October 2019.

Since then over 1556 babies have been killed by abortion.

Head of Precious Life, Bernadette Smyth addressed the hundreds of people who had earlier formed a huge circle around the City Hall to remember the children who were brutally killed by abortion.

She said: “Each pair of baby shoes represented an innocent life cruelly taken by the injustice of the abortion legislation forced on Northern Ireland by the British Government.

"Every child deserves a chance to take their first steps," she told hundreds of those who had gathered to show their opposition to Section 9 of NI Executive Formation Act.

She added: “Every child deserves to wear their first pair of shoes and every child deserves a BIRTH day too.

"Our unborn children must be protected in law, policy and practice. We are calling on our elected MLA’s to repeal Section 9 and restore the humanity of each and every child in the womb.”

"This Life Chain event has sent out a clear message to the Northern Ireland Assembly - Repeal Section 9 and Restore Personhood to every child before birth."

She concluded: "Our Repeal Section 9 Campaign will continue until every unborn child is once again legally protected in Northern Ireland."
