Fine Gael’s legislative coup on abortion legislation deplored

The Pro-Life Campaign recently released the results of a Millward Brown Lansdowne conducted poll which was carried out on a quota controlled sample of 979 people aged 18+ between May 2 – 15.

Fine Gael’s legislative coup on abortion legislation deplored

The question posed was unambiguously clear: Just prior to polling day in the 2011 General Election Fine Gael said it was opposed to the legalisation of abortion and experimentation on human embryos.

It said that Fine Gael’s representatives would bring to the proposed all-party committee a clear commitment that women in pregnancy will receive whatever treatments are necessary to safeguard their lives, and the duty of care to preserve the life of the baby will also be upheld. Would you agree or disagree with this commitment? Overall, of those who expressed an opinion, 80% agreed with the commitment and 20% disagreed. In Connacht/Ulster which includes the Taoiseach’s constituency of Mayo, 87% agreed and only 13% disagreed.
