Galway public representatives lead opposition to abortion bill.

Noel Grealish, TD for Galway West and Colm Keaveney, for Galway East are in the news today regarding the government's abortion bill. Grealish called for a free vote allowing politicians vote according to their conscience rather than being forced to vote as their parties demanded.
Meanwhile Keaveney, who also hapens to be chairman of the Labour Party, has voiced hos opposition to the bill and has indicated that he will vote against it. In particular he voiced his opposition to the fact that there is no time limit in the bill and that babies near the viable stage could be delivered leaving them vulnerable to a range of health problems due to premature delivery.
Their voices have been added to other local representatives such as Fine Gael's Brian Walsh and Fianna Fáil's Eamon Ó Cuív who have voiced their opposition and intend to vote against the government's bill.

National Vigil for Life. June 8th. Merrion Sq.


Thousands of people are working hard to oppose the Government’s destructive abortion proposal. Thank you for playing YOUR part.

We simply must keep the effort up to stop this appalling legislation. As things stand, two psychiatrists, with an obstetrician on the sidelines, will be able to sign away the life of a child of a healthy mother. This is a travesty of good medicine.

There can be no question of pessimism on our side or resignation that all this is going to happen. We must oppose this at every step – before, during and after events in the Dáil and Seanad – and propose a positive alternative. We must never give up on the cause of human dignity.

So we urge you to do all you can to make the National Vigil for Life on 8th June a big success. This Vigil comes at the key moment with the Government producing the actual legislation. 

We must demonstrate the massive number of pro-life people in Ireland. Early June is a critical time and we need you to do everything that you can – now.Please get involved by attending yourself and also bringing as many others as possible.

Bring a carload or a busload!
