The Northern Ireland Assembly wants to hear your views on the creation of a Bill of Rights. A consultation survey has been set up by the Ad Hoc Committee on a Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland. It is vitally important that you let the Northern Ireland Assembly know that you want the rights of unborn babies protected in law, policy and practice. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The deadline to complete the survey is Friday 29th January 2021. Take the SURVEY here... A Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland was one of the recommendations of the Good Friday Agreement and the pro-abortion Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission was set up to advise on the Bill of Rights. Precious Life has been exposing the Human Rights Commission’s pro-abortion agenda since 1999. For years the Commission tried to deny they were pro-abortion, but now they unashamedly admit they want abortion right up to the moment of birth. Only last week, Precious Life condemned the Human Rights Commission for taking a court case to have more even babies killed by abortion in Norther Ireland (see story here...) There is a real danger that the Human Rights Commission will use a Bill of Rights to 'enshrine abortion' as a 'human right' in Northern Ireland. But every person in Northern Ireland - born and unborn - must have the Right to Life. The Right to Life is protected in the UK under The Human Rights Act 1998. Article 2 states... "Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life…” The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (to which the UK has signed up to) also states "...every Child has the inherent Right to Life...the Child...needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, BEFORE as well as after BIRTH” Tell the Northern Ireland Assembly, that every child - before birth - needs special safeguards and care, including legal protection. The most basic human right is the Right to Life itself - without it, all other rights are meaningless Take the SURVEY here...

Do you have any other comments? Yes. Question 4i. Enter your comments in the text box below. I want the rights of unborn babies protected in law, policy and practice. Every person in Northern Ireland - born and unborn - must have the Right to Life. The Right to Life is protected in the UK under The Human Rights Act 1998 - "Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life…” (Article 2) The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child states "...every Child has the inherent Right to Life...the Child...needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, BEFORE as well as after BIRTH” Every child in Northern Ireland - before birth - must have special safeguards and care, including legal protection. The most basic human right is the Right to Life itself - without it, all other rights are meaningless. Regarding Question 2 - Unborn babies and their mothers need more protection for their human rights in the area of Pregnancy and maternity Regarding Question 3 - the value for the foundation of rights in Northern Ireland is Human Dignity. Everyone, including unborn babies, deserves respect and to be given the dignity of being treated as a human. Regarding Question 4 - I answered "Don't know" to how important a Bill of Rights is for Northern Ireland because it would be "very important" if the dignity, humanity and right to life for unborn babies was acknowledged and protected. However, if a Bill of Rights is used in any way to promote or support abortion then it would be "Not important at all." Regarding Question 4b - I strongly agree that a Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland should set out an aspirational vision based on the guiding and foundational value of the right to life for everyone - before and after birth. ========================================================== (NOTE: For any questions not specifically related to abortion, feel free to answer as you wish.)
