Mother’s death being ‘manipulated’ by abortion campaigners

In the past month it emerged that Government-funded crisis pregnancy agencies had given advice to women that would potentially endanger their lives.

Last year an Irish woman almost died following a botched abortion in Britain.

Neither of these stories resulted in a public outcry, garnered widespread media attention, or received condemnations from abortion campaigners.

I cannot therefore help but think that the tragic death of Salvita Halappanavar, whose life we cannot say would have been saved by abortion, is now being manipulated by abortion campaigners around the country and in the media to further their agenda.

If they were genuinely concerned for the well-being of all women, their efforts would necessarily go into acknowledging and exposing the egregious negligence of an abortion industry directly responsible for the deaths of countless women in botched abortions around the world every year.
