Wow this was powerful! You have captured the hypocrisy of what McAntee supposedly stands for so well. Agenda only suits when it suits her agenda. As a mother of four beautiful beings whom I am so lucky to have birthed , it pains me so deeply how she can herself give birth but at the same time orchestrate a tale of lies which has profound detrimental effects on the real vulnerables . She is a disgusting human being (find it difficult to even call her that).
What an amazing article. So true and so sad. A woman who has an abortion carries the execution site within her. So many helpless babies executed, a lot of innocent blood spilled. Frightening 🫣 😢🙏
Some of us are empaths while others are sociopaths! Some of us feel others’ pain, others inflict pain. Therein lies the difference. Helen McEntee must publicly repent for her support of the dismemberment of infants or she may very well be lost when she herself dies. The wages of sin is death, the second death!
It's not that simplistic. We're all inflictors of pain at some time. You, for instance, limit your empathy for those unborn, none for women who choose a path you have no capacity to understand.
A masterclass, Louise, in that knowable style of the Unknown Soldier. So 'mere journalism' is not the only string to your bow? I was at the Rally for Life in Dublin on Saturday. Such a pity this rhetorical flourish wasn't known to the organisers in advance. They had an incredible sound system at the terminus of the march from the Garden of Remembrance to the Custom House. Your words would have carried all over the city, along the wind tunnel of the Liffey, maybe even echoing back to the teeming GAA supporters heading into Croke Park. Or did this dream moment actually happen at some point and I somehow missed it in my rush to get home after the main speeches?
I had my own epiphany after I made the appt to destroy my child. Even as a teen, I was practicing meditation (TM) and in one of those meditations I sensed LIFE moving within me. I immediately cancelled the appointment.
Later in the pregnancy, I dreamed I saw my baby's face, the same one he was born with. God is Great. Becoming a young mother, was the first step in my maturity, after being raised in a society that taught me the inverse of everything that is good, decent and precious.
Now if she could just write a piece about an actual living child, born into poverty and/or abuse, trafficked or sold into slavery. And too bad it doesn't encompass those women, murdered while pregnant or their children, all killed by war profiteers that no so-called "pro-life" person gives a second thought to.
You assume that pro-lifers give no thought to the victims you mention above. Do you know that for sure? Or doo you put them into the category of Right Wing Racists, who cut money for social welfare programs while decrying abortion rights?
I dont think that right wing slur works in Ireland, where right wing racism never took hold. It never had the economic incentive to do so, which was African slavery.
I do not suppport abortion. I support the right of women to make ther own choices about their own lives without the interference of the same people who woould never even think about controlling he medical decisions of men. In Ireland, I suppose that would be the influence/indoctrination of the Catholic Church, well-known fo both its misogyny and its historic indifference to human life.
Excellent article🙏
I just sent it to Helen!
And I’m sending it to my own TD’s who are murderers also.
Right reason will win out and the Preamble to our Constitution spells out to whom we must give account.

That brought tears to my eyes. My God, how do they do it…

Such mixture of evil and love and tragedy - thank you 😊🙏

Miss McEntee your just back from maternity ?????????
Very powerful words. ❤️
Wow 😥
You know how to pierce the heart with words Louise. I hope this pierced Helens, maybe she doesn't have a heart? Powerful, very powerful.
I am Louise - the author - thanks
So powerful. Thank you.

Wow Doiren. Your last sentence... Thank you.
Excellent is too inadequate a word! Heartbreaking and beautiful
