Abortion is now legal up to birth. Fine Gael and Labour knew when introducing the law that abortion is not a treatment for suicidal feelings. Doctors should be trained to save lives not end them.

Suicide When introducing abortion, the Government went so far as to reject an amendment allowing pain relief for an unborn baby during a late-term abortion. It brings home the true horror of the new law. Barbaric Learn more at www.prolifecampaign.ie/simpletruth Some sections of the media constantly produce opinion polls claiming majority public support for abortion. But the poll questions invariably fail to make any distinction between necessary life-saving treatments in pregnancy and direct abortion (which intentionally targets the unborn baby’s life). Polls that make this distinction clear show strong opposition to legalised abortion. Opinion 8pp.indd 1-4 23/09/2014 11:15

Simple Truth: Roscommon-South-Leitrim By-Election
The reality of Fine Gael and Labours abortion lawRoscommon-South-Leitrim By-Election 2014
The Government introduced abortion in 2013. They misled the public by presenting the law as a life-saving measure. The Simple Truth Campaign is about giving an honest take on what the new law actually entails.

On October 10th, only vote for Candidates and Parties who publicly oppose the Governments abortion legislation and support the protection of human life from its fragile beginnings.
See inside leaflet for where the Candidates stand on right to life issues.

YOUR VOTE MATTERS - Use it to Protect Human Life
The P
ro Life Cam
paign asked the following
four questions of each of the candidates:
Where the
By-Election
candidates stand on right-to-life issues
As a M
ember of D
il ireann and
notwithstanding the position of your
political party (if applicable) will you:
(i) vote against abortion at every opportunity. (ii) vote against destructive em
bryonic stem cell research at every
opportunity. (iii) w
ork with like-m
inded TDs and Senators to advance the protection of life at all stages. (iv) w
ork towards the repeal of the
abortion legislation introduced in Ireland in 2013.
The follow
ing candidates answered
YE
S to all four questions
Cllr Ivan Connaughton - Fianna FilCllr Des Guckian - Non PartyGerry O Boyle - Non PartyT
he remaining candidates did not respond
or their response was that they w
ere not in a position to answ
er YE
S to all four
questions.
Sinn Fin,Labour and F
ine Gael all
supported the abortion legislation passed in 20
13.
Misleading
Statements
From
Politicians
Many issues are troubling voters,
but no issue is more im
portant than protecting life. H
ow w
e treat the vulnerable m
easures how civilised w
e are as a society.
In the by-election on October 10
th, only vote for C
andidates and Parties
comm
itted to defending life.
The abortion law
introduced last year was presented as
emergency legislation needed to save w
omens lives. T
he truth of course is that the legislation w
as never about life-saving treatm
ents. It was alw
ays about Fine G
ael caving into the Labour P
arty, who cam
paigned for 20 years for an abortion
regime in Ireland.
