Province-wide LIFE CHAINS to mark anniversary of legalised abortion in Northern Ireland
Precious Life will hold LIFE CHAINS across the province on Saturday 24th October 2020 at 2pm, to mark one year since abortion was legalised in Northern Ireland.
Last year on 21st October 2019, Westminster forced abortion on Northern Ireland. The legislation contained in Section 9 of the NI (Executive Formation) Act removed the sections of the Offences Against The Person Act that had protected unborn babies in Northern Ireland. Department of Health (DoH) figures released at the start of October 2020 revealed that 664 abortions have now been carried out in Northern Ireland.
The theme of our LIFE CHAINS is ‘Restore Personhood’ for Northern Ireland’s unborn babies. We mark this first year anniversary of one of the darkest days in Northern Ireland’s history, when the Westminster Parliament forced abortion on Northern Ireland, aided and abetted by pro-abortion MLAs in our Assembly.
We hold these LIFE CHAINS also in remembrance of the 664 babies killed in Northern Ireland since abortion was legalised.
The figures from the DoH expose the hypocrisy of the Government and pro-abortion MLAs in our Assembly. For the past 6 months we’ve been listening to them preaching to us about protecting and saving lives. But the abortion law they implemented has now lead to the killing of 664 innocent unborn babies. Thy have allowed more lives to be lost to abortion than have been lost to the coronavirus in Northern Ireland.
Sixteen LIFE CHAINS have been organised in towns and cities across Northern Ireland. Each individual LIFE CHAIN will adhere to government social distancing regulations allowing outdoor events of up to 15 people.
Director of Precious Life Bernadette Smyth will also host a special LIFE CHAIN event with guest speakers, which will be live-streamed on social media.
Check out the livestream on our Facebook page at 2pm on Saturday.
