Pro-life groups vow to target politicians who change law

Pro-life groups will oppose “wrong and unnecessary” legislation allowing abortion when there is a risk of suicide — and will target politicians who support the law change.

The Pro Life Campaign and the Iona Institute separately hit out at Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s confirmation that he plans to bring in legislation to tackle the issue, backed up by regulations.

The Pro Life Campaign said “any proposal” to allow abortion would inevitably, over time, lead to abortion on demand.
