Precious Life fully endorses the United States’ Association of Pro-Life Physicians’ Open Letter to David Ford
Precious Life fully endorses the United States’ Association of Pro-Life Physicians’Open Letter to David Ford, the Justice Minister of Northern Ireland. In response to David Ford’s proposals to legalise abortion in cases of ‘lethal foetal abnormality and sexual crime’ in Northern Ireland, the Association of Pro-Life Physicians has appealed to David Ford to learn from the bloodshed that has haunted the United States since the Supreme Court’s shameful decision in Roe v Wade in 1973.
“The Supreme Court [in Roe v Wade] exploited the crime of rape to dehumanize an entire class of people and legalize their killing and exploitation. Now, abortion has become legal not only in cases of rape, but for every conceivable excuse. Do not think that you are beyond this slippery slope. If you begin to stain your hands with innocent blood, you will not be able to easily wash them off. You may surround yourself with medical and legal experts to help you develop your position, but please remember, no honesty or sincerity can be expected from murderers.
“You, as Northern Ireland’s Minister of Justice, appear to be influenced by the medical community's testimony that abortion is necessary in rare cases of ‘fetal anomaly’. It is never justified to intentionally kill an innocent human being. We should do everything we can to provide compassionate care to the mother and her preborn child, but it is never necessary to intentionally kill a preborn child. That's not healthcare - that's barbaric.”
The Association of Pro-Life Physicians is sending a grave warning to David Ford, that if abortion is legalised in the above tragic cases, he will forever be remembered as the man who ignored the real needs of women and pushed them towards ‘choosing’ death for their children. David Ford has stated that his proposals ‘in no way represent proposals for abortion on demand’ and tries to convince us that his proposals would never permit the abuses of Roe v Wade. But as the Association of Pro-Life Physicians’ letter warns, the floodgates will open and David Ford will not be able to stop it.
Precious Life is grateful to have the support of the Association of Pro-Life Physicians in our efforts to resist any move to legalise abortion in Northern Ireland, and to defend and protect the rights of our unborn children.
