The Pro Life Campaign has welcomed yesterday's decision by Donegal County Council to reject abortion. A motion debated at the Councilmeeting held in Lifford read as follows:
In keeping with the will of the Irish people, as emphatically expressed in the referendum of 1983, Donegal County Council opposes any form of legalisation of abortion in any circumstances
The motion was resoundingly passed by 17 votes in favour to just one vote against. There were six abstentions.
Commenting on the result of the vote, Pro Life Campaign spokesperson Cora Sherlock said:
'The members of Donegal County Council have shown that they recognise that Ireland, without abortion is the safest country for women when pregnant. It is a tribute to the Councillors that they have seen through the misinformation that is currently being spread suggesting that that Ireland is obliged to introduce abortion. This is simply not the case. The people of Donegal should be proud of their local representatives for championing the rights of the most vulnerable members of society'.
