You may have heard about the abortion industry’s plans to try force the Government to impose abortion on Northern Ireland from Westminster undermining the people of Northern Ireland who make decisions about their own legal framework on abortion through their democratically elected representatives at Stormont.

Since 42.8% of the Irish electorate (66.4% of the 64.5% who took part) voted to remove the right to life for unborn children by repealing the Eighth Amendment, Northern Ireland is one of the few regions in Europe, and the only region in the UK, where the unborn child is largely protected from abortion.

There is now significant pressure on Northern Ireland and specifically on Prime Minister Theresa May to introduce abortion on demand into the region.

The Mirror has revealed there has been child sex grooming going back 40 years in Telford. The true extent of this horror remains unknown at this time, but the Mirror’s investigations show that up to 1000 girls have been victims of this abuse.

The leader of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, has spoken out against the advance of gender ideology in schools saying that schoolchildren must accept the gender into which they were born if they are to be truly happy.

Entering the debate on the “ideology of gender” publicly for the first time, the Cardinal suggested that only through accepting their biological sex would people ultimately find their “greatest joy”.

The Royal College of Nurses (RCN) are now consulting their members about whether or not the organisation should support the ‘decriminalisation’ of abortion.

The RCN are trying to maintain that this consultation is not about the time limit for abortions nor is it about conscientious refusals. To state this is either wholly ignorant of what ‘decriminalisation’ means or is disingenuous.

Recent revelations have shown that the process of member selection for the Citizens' Assembly, which the RED C polling company uses to choose members of the public "at random", is actually wide-open to abuse and could have compromised all of the recommendations of the body, to-date.

Women’s Aid, a federation which oversees over 300 women’s only shelters and refuges are now reviewing their hiring policies to reconsider whether they should hire men who identify as women.

Having run for almost 50 years, these shelters have acted as refuges for vulnerable women who have often been physically or sexually abused. Because of the trauma many of these women have undergone, sometimes at the hands of husbands or boyfriends, sometimes they are fearful of men and wish to be kept in a women only space (even if only on a temporary basis).

In the last few years, the right of medical professionals to conscientiously object to procedures which are destructive or potentially destructive of life has been under persistent attack and even eroded in some cases.

On the 13th of December 2017, UKIP AM Gareth Bennett was barred from speaking in Senedd debates in 2018 following a speech about transgender rights.

Open criticism of transgender ideology is apparently not permitted in the Welsh Assembly

The Presiding Officer, Elin Jones, gagged Mr Bennett throughout 2018 until he apologises saying that “Some of his comments were particularly hateful to the transgender community.”

What assembly rules did Mr Bennett break? We have not been told.

It seems his crime was offending the temperament of Ms Jones and nothing more.
