Irish pro-lifers shouldn't be misled by false histories of the 2002 abortion referendum
Some people are being misled into believing that the current threat of abortion legalisation in the Republic of Ireland is due to the defeat of the proposals put to the Irish people regarding abortion in the 2002 referendum. The 2002 proposals were in fact similar to those being proposed in Ireland right now. Pat Buckley, SPUC's man in the Republic of Ireland, has produced the following brief review of what was at stake in 2002.
