Another Galway public representative vows to vote against unjust government bill.

Senator Fidelma Healy Eames released a statement yesterday making it clear that she will vote

against the government's unjust abortion bill. In it she said:

I do not believe this proposal is good for women and I know that it is not good for unborn children. It is an unjust and dangerous bill permitting abortion on a threat of suicide without any sound psychiatric basis.

I believe that if this Bill is passed, it will mark the beginning of a culture change in Ireland, a normalisation of abortion in Irish society and a loss of respect for the most vulnerable and weak among us. - See more at: http://fidelmahealyeames.ie/2013/06/17/statement-by-senator-fidelma-healy-eames-on-abortion-position/#sthash.T395Z2O6.dpuf

 I do not believe this proposal is good for women and I know that it is not good for unborn children. It is an unjust and dangerous bill permitting abortion on a threat of suicide without any sound psychiatric basis.

Her statement was immediately welcomed by Cora Sherlock, spokesperson for the Pro Life Campaign.

Senator Healy Eames made it clear in her statement that while she was opposing the legislation she is fully supportive of medical interventions to save a woman’s life in pregnancy. However she also said that she could not support “a bill that will make it legal to intentionally destroy unborn human life where there isn’t a shred of medical evidence to justify it”.

Senator Healy Eames and others are taking this stance because they has looked at the evidence. It is to be hoped that this example will be followed by many other TDs and Senators before the Bill is voted on.
