Prayer is the best way to fight abortion

IN his column (Irish Examiner, Sept 3), Rónán Mullen, writing on the cult of abortion, asks: “Did the pro-life movement... consider that legal protection was the best that could be achieved in view of an inevitable collapse in public morality.”

In my opinion, this is where the pro-life movement got it wrong. The law is powerless to stop abortion and the pro-life leaders should admit that they are powerless also to change the culture and call on a higher power.

Otherwise Irish babies will continue to die and Irish mothers will continue to suffer the horrendous effects of this evil.
