Pro-life campaign should change tactics

YOUR columnist Rónán Mullen (Irish Examiner, Sept 3), rightly states that the time has come for “new structures to address the increased social and cultural acceptability of abortion in this country.” He then goes on to list a number of areas that pro-lifers should attend to because he says the Government won’t.

Of course, the Government won't. This Government supports the abortion culture and has done so for years, as pro-life people now know. Battle-weary pro-lifers do not have the structures or the money in sufficient abundance to do what Rónán wants. And even if they did, it would hardly make a difference.

But there is a way to stop the killing. Rónán and the pro-life movement could do worse than look to the US.
