The results of this week’s Seanad election has provided the latest evidence of a pro-life resurgence in Irish politics.
It was terrific to see new pro-life Senators elected who are prepared to speak up for life and work to reduce our country’s spiralling abortion numbers. The latest Seanad successes follow the increase in the number of pro-life TDs elected to the Dáil in November and the rise in the number of pro-life councillors elected in last June’s local elections.
It bodes well for the changes we want to see happen, having a much stronger team of pro- life advocates in the new Oireachtas than the previous one.
The Government cannot defend the 250% increase in abortions that has taken place since the law changed. The focus needs to shift from openly promoting abortion to working together to dramatically reduce the number of abortions taking place. There is a realistic possibility now of that happening.
In addition to the pro-life wins that occurred in this week’s Seanad election, the main political parties couldn’t have missed the prominence and role the pro-life issue played in the election over all, including the marked increase in support that was evident for independent candidates and party candidates who are pro-life and who came extremely close to getting elected.

A block at a time eventually builds a house. The new group of pro-life TDs and Senators needs to be profiled and promoted at every opportunity.
I understand that in Austria every baby must have a father.
I think if we insist on this as well as life long responsibility for both mothers and children there may be a reduction in casual sex
