Comment the Indo wouldn't publish

I would have thought that as a midwife who campaigned for the 8th in 1983, I might have had something relevant to add to the conversation, but evidently the Indo thought not. The allegation was that the Church told people how to vote in 1983. 

A comment to the article http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/prolife-campaigners-were-thinking-way-ahead-on-the-eighth-36204734.html 

The Church didn't tell me 'how to vote' in 1983. As a teen in the 1970's I saw photos of dead babies in buckets  & babies dead from chemical scalding.(That was so horribly cruel it does not bear thinking about  - and they still do intrauterine infusions some places!) That told me all I needed to know about 'Choice.'  In 1983 I was a young midwife who campaigned for the 8th with my colleagues because if we were looking after a pregnant woman we had two patients and it wouldn't be right to kill one of them, what kind of care is that?

Between then and now, the unborn child has been DEHUMANISED by the abortion lobby, Well Done!. But it's not progressive, it's regressive, and History will judge 'Choice' very harshly indeed. There are more humane ways of helping women in crisis pregnancies.

There are official statistics and countless testimonies of abortion staff in USA, Canada, UK, Australia of babies born alive after abortions and left to to die, cold and alone. (Actually Dr. kermit Gosnell severed their spines with scissors)  Presumably many of these unfortunate survivors were disabled, maybe Downs Syndrome. We can go down that road if we want. Personally I think it's against everything civilised and decent. Every baby, disabled or not, child of rapist or not, deserves tender touches, not graspers and high-guage needles. But as former abortionist Dr. Kathy Aultman said: Anytime you take a group of people and consider they are non-human, you can do anything to them.' (from clinicquotes.com, a wake-up there website which quotes women, doctors, nurses, clerks and even one of the few survivors.
