Abortion - Without the right to life all other rights are meaningless

A recent European court decision is putting pressure on Ireland to introduce abortion. The Pro Life Campaign is working hard to ensure no legislation is introduced on foot of the judgement. Ireland, without abortion, is recognised by the World Health Organisation as the safest country in the world for pregnant women.

In Britain, however, abortion is legal even up to birth – babies who survive abortion are simply left to die. It is the task of every person to help build a more welcoming society for expectant mothers and their unborn children, where respect for the inherent value of every human life, born or unborn is cherished.

Stem Cell Research - Finding cures we can all live with

There’s much publicity about the potential of stem cell therapies in treating chronic diseases. Much of it blurs the distinction between embryonic stem cell research (which destroys living human embryos), and the perfectly ethical use of adult stem cells. So far, all the scientific breakthroughs we read about in the media are in the field of adult stem cell research.

As of now, human embryos outside the mother have no law protecting them. This has to change. Ireland should lead the way in promoting adult stem cell research over destructive embryo research, as a win-win solution for both ethics and science.
