SPUC launches booklet in defence of Northern Ireland's pro-life culture
Newtownabbey, 6 September 2001--The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) has launched Affirming a pro-life culture in Northern Ireland, a booklet which defends the predominantly pro-life ethos of Northern Ireland.
Mrs Betty Gibson, chairman of SPUC in Northern Ireland, said: "The
protection of unborn human life in Northern Ireland is something
precious and distinctive and worth defending. Whatever our views on
other political and religious issues, all sections of Northern
Ireland's population can come together on the fundamental issue of the
value of unborn human life. This booklet is an expression of that
unity, as well as an indication of our concern."
The booklet's preface describes Northern Ireland as the safest
place in the UK to raise children. The booklet details the history and
impact of 33 years of legalised abortion in Britain, and explains how
every single unborn child killed by abortion is demonstrably human. It
affirms that human life begins at conception, and warns against the
many and varied attacks on the inherent dignity and worth of human
life, both before and after the embryo implants in the womb. It also
demonstrates how the inherent sanctity of human life is respected by
the vast majority of Christians and by all the main world religions.
The preface has been signed by Mr Nigel Dodds MP MLA of the Democratic Unionist Party and by Mr Danny O'Connor MLA of the Social Democratic & Labour Party.
