Thumbs up Youth Defence Disrupt Abortion Extremists Meeting

Quote:
Youth Defence today criticised abortion fanatic Ms Ivana Bacik and the abortion pushers in the Irish Family Planning Association on their call for abortion on demand in Ireland. This call comes despite Ms Bacik’s own acknowledgement in the July 2003 edition of Magill magazine that her desire to see abortion being widely available in Ireland is “not one shared by the majority of the Irish people.”

Eoghan de Faoite, Chairperson of Youth Defence said today, “I find it wholly outrageous that this so called “charity” would have the audacity to override the wishes of the Irish people and call for abortion on demand in Ireland. The IFPA need to learn to understand the workings of a democracy and respect the wishes of the electorate who continually reject abortion, instead of trying to force their own liberal agenda”

- Edmund Curtis (A History of Ireland: From Earliest Times to 1922)

The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth.
For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
- Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596).

The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation.
- Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature

Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation.
- Heinrich Zimmer, Professor of Celtic and Sanskrit, Member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences
