Standing up for unborn babies: Former Taoiseach John Bruton vigorously defends current abortion laws




Former taoiseach John Bruton, who was speaking at the Daniel O’Connell Summer School in Cahersiveen, Co Kerry, has fully defended the current constitutional position on abortion, stating that it offers very good protection to unborn babies.

Mr Bruton said that Irish people have a choice to make as to whether human rights extend to unborn babies or just to those who are already born.

He stated that unborn babies should have the same human rights are those who are already born.

Mr Bruton went onto say that Daniel O’Connell was the greatest ever Irish humanitarian who protected the defenceless and used him as an analogy to defend unborn babies.
