The Pro Life Campaign is a non-denominational lobby group, drawing its support from a wide cross-section of Irish society. The Campaign promotes pro-life education and defends human life at all stages from conception to natural death. It also campaigns for resources to support and assist pregnant women and those in need of healing after abortion.
BIRTHRIGHT Positively Protecting Life
› PLC LAUNCHES NEW POSTCARD CAMPAIGN The Pro Life Campaign has launched a new postcard initiative encouraging supporters to make their voices heard by sending postcards to their local Oireachtas representatives making it clear that they will only vote for candidates or parties with a record of defending life in the next election. In 2007, a similar initiative helped persuade many people to use their votes to protect human life. In the current political climate, with a General Election possibly just around the corner, it is vital that pro-life people make their concerns known to politicians.
The postcard initiative is also timely because human life in its earliest and most fragile stage faces two very different threats in the coming months. First, cases in the European courts are likely to lead to pressure on the Government to provide abortion here. And second, following the Supreme Court ruling last December, in R-v-R, involving frozen embryos, Health Minister Mary Harney stated publicly that she intends bringing forward legislation in the next few months largely based on the Report of the Commission on Assisted Human Reproduction, which recommended legalising deliberate destruction of human embryos in clinics and laboratories. To order postcards please phone (01) 662 9275 or email info@prolifecampaign.ie
