Precious Life launches FIGHT BACK campaign!
Precious Life, the leading pro-life group in Northern Ireland, has launched its brand new FIGHT BACK public awareness campaign in response to the threat of legalised abortion following Mr Justice Horner’s ruling in the judicial review brought by the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission to demand the legalisation of abortion in cases of rape, incest, and when an unborn child has a life-limiting disability.
As part of the new campaign, Precious Life and people throughout Northern Ireland will be holding a prayer vigil outside the High Court in Belfast tonight at 7.00pm, the evening before Mr Justice Horner decides whether to interpret the law to allow abortion in the above cases or to make a final order that would put pressure on the Northern Ireland Assembly to change the law.
Commenting on this evening’s prayer vigil, Bernadette Smyth said:
“The FIGHT BACK campaign is all about us making our voices heard: letting Judge Horner, our politicians, and the media know that this ruling is diabolical. The people of Northern Ireland are disgusted and outraged that a judge would deny the very humanity of a sick little baby alive in his mother’s womb and degrade any woman who became pregnant through rape by calling her a ‘mere receptacle’ for the ‘child of a rapist’.
“This evening we will all stand in defence of the little babies under threat of legalised abortion and pray that Judge Horner will respect the primacy of the democratic process and leave our politicians to respect the wishes of their voters who have made clear that abortion will never be in our name.”
Precious Life has also launched huge billboards to tour the city of Belfast exposing the horror of Judge Horner’s ruling and what this would mean for the future of unborn children in Northern Ireland.
Precious Life will be present at the High Court in Belfast tomorrow morning to hear Mr Justice Horner’s final order in this case. Bernadette Smyth will be will be available to give interviews after the judge gives his final order.
