Anger as group compares abortion to Holocaust

Cork householders have hit out at an anti-abortion group that has compared abortion to the Holocaust.

Leaflets criticising Jerry Buttimer, who chairs the Dáil committee hearing opinion on legislating for the X case, and likening abortion to the Holocaust, are being sent to Cork homes.

The leaflets were sent in suburbs of Cork city over the past three days. They show a picture of bodies piled up alongside a picture of an aborted foetus, and state: “The German people let this happen because they didn’t speak out. Are you and I going to let this happen?”
