Media silence noted

Dear Editor, RTÉ News very briefly carried the tragic story of the young Irish woman who in 2012 died after an abortion carried out at a London clinic. Three abortion clinic staff – a doctor and two nurses – were being charged in court with manslaughter and negligence. Subsequently other media ignored this woman’s tragic death, largely because the circumstances did not suit the pro-abortion campaigning groupthink of journalists.

Collectively they minimised and buried this tragic abortion-related death. No protests, no marches, no candlelit vigils, no strident editorials, no Dáil speeches. Contrast this with the campaigning pro-abortion furore surrounding Savita Halappanavar’s tragic death. Savita’s death was, and still is, exploited to drive the abortion agenda, despite subsequent investigation showing that sepsis and mismanagement caused it, not Irish abortion law.

The upcoming Rally for Life on July 4 and the fast-approaching election will allow you to oppose abortion of the unborn and those who push for it in Ireland.

Yours etc.,

Oliver Maher,
