Human life is sacred and that’s underlined by the Coronavirus crisis, according to SPUC who launched their anti-abortion Repeal Section 9 Campaign last weekend with prominent billboards across Northern Ireland. Philip Lynn, SPUC Northern Ireland Political Officer said: “The Coronavirus crisis has not only put into perspective just how valuable human life is, it has also made clear that we, as a society, have a duty to save it.”

SPUC Northern Ireland launched the Repeal Section 9 Campaign this week, in a bid to repeal what they have dubbed the “extreme abortion regime” imposed on Northern Ireland by Westminster.

The campaign features a series of high-profile billboard adverts that are displayed across the Province. A digital initiative has also been launched which is urging the Northern Irish people to sign a petition, telling the Stormont Assembly to repeal Section 9 of the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation) Act.

Commenting on the campaign, Mr Lynn said that the current health crisis has highlighted the importance of human lives and how we have a duty to protect vulnerable lives.

“The strong have a duty to protect the weak”

Mr Lynn said: “It is deplorable how during a time when the world is battling to protect and preserve human life, Westminster has enforced an extreme abortion regime in Northern Ireland which permits the widespread slaughter of vulnerable humans.

“The Coronavirus pandemic has made astoundingly clear just how valuable human life is. It has highlighted how the strong have a duty to protect the weak, and how vulnerable humans are entitled to safeguards and care.

“This care should be extended to all vulnerable human lives, including the unborn. SPUC Northern Ireland’s Repeal Section 9 Campaign is more relevant than ever. The time is now, for everyone to join in preserving and protecting the weakest amongst us.”

Rise and Repeal

Approximately 100,000 people are alive in Northern Ireland today, as a result of the region resisting the 1967 Abortion Act.

SPUC says that Westminster has imposed the radical abortion regime on Northern Ireland without the democratic consent of the people and that it is the most extreme abortion law in Europe..
