The 2nd November 2007 saw an historic event in Stormont, the launch of an All Party Pro Life Group.
The keynote speaker at the launch was Dr Alveda King who, being the niece of the late slain Martin Luther King, likened the aborted child to “a slave in the womb”.
Also speaking were Dr Patricia Casey on the proven psychiatric links between abortion and suicide, Mrs Johanna Higgins, Barrister of the ACLI, presenting comment on the criminal law on abortion, Mrs Bernadette Smyth, Director of Precious Life and Mr Donaldson MLA MP, Mr Ramsey MLA and Mrs Robinson MLA MP.
The event was well attended and guests included all the main pro life groups, Doctors for Life, Lawyers, Teachers and the Catholic Bishops representative.
It was a wonderful event, very uplifting and informative.
