Opinion: Mary Lou McDonald doesn’t realise that many Sinn Fein supporters are not in favour of repealing the Eighth Amendment




The new leader of Sinn Fein, Mary Lou McDonald has come out hard in favour of repealing the Eighth Amendment.

The Eighth Amendment is a Constitutional amendment that states that the unborn baby has an equal right to life as its mother.

The Pro Life Campaign has said that 5,000 babies are alive each year because of the Eighth Amendment.

While most of the Western world has moved on in its understanding of this issue and major efforts are being made to restrict it in countries already afflicted with it, Ms McDonald and a sinister cabal surrounding her at the top of SF refuse to acknowledge the rights of the unborn Irish child.

An SF insider has told us about life long pro life members of the party being given “the cold shoulder” by recently joined vicious pro choice activists.
He added “I have working for this party for decades, and now I’m effectively being told to leave my own party by her”.

Maybe Ms McDonald should consider the fact that an unborn baby’s heart starts beating at 3 weeks in the womb and her eyes are open at just 6 weeks. These are the babies whose lives will be on the line on polling day.
