There has been much talk in the town of Drogheda, Co. Louth and indeed social media after claims emerged that Our Lady Of Lourdes hospital in Drogheda is due to carry out its first abortion this morning, Monday, January 7th, 2019.
A text message circulated around Co. Louth and beyond over the weekend which read:
“The first abortion in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital Drogheda is scheduled for first thing tomorrow morning, Monday 7th. The priests in Drogheda have asked for prayers that the woman will have a change of heart and not go through with the procedure”
At 10:30am mass yesterday morning in St. Mary’s Church, Drogheda, the priest announced during offertory prayers that an abortion was to take place in Our Lady Of Lourdes Hospital on Monday morning and asked for prayers.
It’s understood that there was an extremely strong Pro Life eulogy given out to parishioners attending Christmas mass services in the Church which is understood to have been well received in the town.
The age of the baby due to be aborted is not known but this latest story is unlikely to deter pro-life campaigners who have been planning awareness events outside hospitals where abortions are due to take place.
It’s understood that a number of very active Pro Life groups were made aware of the abortion due to take place in Our Lady Of Lourdes hospital and filtered the information out through their vast social media networks.
A number of Pro Life groups have sworn never to give up fighting abortion in Ireland, no matter what it takes.
