Christian, pro-life groups sent appeals to Creighton

Pro-life TD Lucinda Creighton received letters, DVDs, and appeals from Christian and anti-abortion groups to fight any attempts to legalise abortion ahead of the Dáil vote.

Ms Creighton has been warned the issue of introducing legislation for terminations in limited circumstances will be challenged in the courts and should be put to the people in a referendum.

The material sent to her, obtained by the Irish Examiner, includes a short film comparing abortions to the Holocaust, while other letters urge her to “oppose this terrible evil”.
