“EVERY HUMAN BEING HAS THE INHERENT RIGHT TO LIFE”

The Human Rights Committee, a treaty body at the United Nations Office in Geneva, has adopted a document that would seek to require states to legalize abortion under certain conditions.

This document, known as General Comment No. 36, declares that states “must” provide access to abortion in cases of rape, incest, health of the mother, and when the pregnancy “is not viable.”

The battle for the 8th Amendment in Ireland (which protects the right to life of mother and child in the Irish Constitution) has entered its final stages with the referendum taking place on the 25th May and now internet giants Google and Facebook are severely limiting the pro-life movement in Ireland.

Facebook has decided to ban all foreign based adverts in regard to the 8th Amendment, although it could be argued that this exists in accord with Irish regulation which severely limits foreign funding for political campaigns within Ireland.
