Lisbon Will Force Abortion into Ireland through EU Charter of Human Rights: Irish Pro-Life Lobby
July 22, 2009 by Infowars Ireland
One of the Republic of Ireland’s leading pro-life lobby groups has warned Irish voters that a vote for the Lisbon Treaty will be a vote against the country’s constitutional protections for the unborn.
With the impending second Treaty referendum, Irish voters have been presented with postcards, paid for by the Department of Foreign Affairs, that assure that acceptance of the Lisbon Treaty will pose no threat to abortion laws or national sovereignty and independence. But these are empty promises that cannot be upheld under governing EU laws says Richard Greene, head of the lobby group Coir.
Green wrote Tuesday in the Irish Times that despite promises from the government that Ireland has “iron-clad” opt-outs from certain sections of the Treaty, these “Irish guarantees” do nothing to change the text of the Treaty itself and a Yes vote on Lisbon in October would lead to the overturning of Ireland’s abortion law.
The Lisbon Treaty, he said, “will remain unchanged by any assurances obtained by the Government on any issue. Not a word or a comma will be altered. It is exactly the same treaty rejected last June by the Irish people.” Read full article…
