Day for Life
While we are facing the threat of abortion through David Ford's Abortion Bill in Stormont, the Republic of Ireland is also facing the battle against the "Repeal the Eighth" campaign. Precious Life members united with members of the pro-life movement in the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday 28th March for their pro-life 'National Canvass Day'.
Tuesday’s National Life Canvass Day saw pro-life activists mobilised in all 40 constituencies in the Republic of Ireland, with almost 50 teams having one-to-one discussions with voters right across the country.
The Life Institute has said that it was confident of winning a referendum on the 8th, after it’s door-to-door outreach took a major step forward yesterday on National Life Canvass Day , reaching almost 15,000 people in one day.
Spokeswoman, Niamh Uí Bhriain said that conversations on the doorsteps centred around the key reasons to Save the 8th, and that this positive pro-life messages was brought to some 15,000 people in a national one-day canvass blitz.
“This is real people power, and it’s being used for the best possible cause, to protect women and preborn babies. Everyone deserves a chance at life, and everyone deserves support and compassion. That’s the progressive answer, not abortion - and this hugely successful National Life Canvass Day has confirmed that we can win a referendum to Save the 8th,” she said.
