British Parliament to Vote on Extending Abortion to Northern Ireland
Here is some news from Eric & Joe Scheidler (Pro-Life Action League) THAT CALLS FOR SOME IMEDIATE PRAYER. The pro-aborts know that with upcoming changes in how Northern Ireland is governed, this will probably be their last chance to force it upon an area that doesn't want it. Please pray that this legal runarround the will of the people will fail.
On Wednesday, October 22, Parliament will consider an amendment to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act of 1990 which would extend the 1967 Abortion Act to Northern Ireland. The move is opposed not only by all the major political parties and churches of Northern Ireland, but by the vast majority of the people. Some fear its passage would threaten the fragile peace process that has ended sectarian violence in recent years.
For years pro-abortion activists in both Belfast and London have tried to force abortion on the people of Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (U.K.). Abortion has been legal elsewhere in the U.K. since Parliament passed the Abortion Act of 1967, which does not apply to Northern Ireland, which has its own criminal justice laws.
Several efforts to change the abortion law within Northern Ireland have failed in recent years, thanks to the efforts of Precious Life in mobilizing opposition from the overwhelmingly pro-life majority there, using methods learned from Joe Scheidler and his book, CLOSED.
Wednesday's vote is critical and Smyth has asked pro-lifers the world over to pray for a pro-life victory that will keep abortion out of Northern Ireland.
