Catholic Church raises moral objections to proposed referendum
The Government is facing more criticism over the proposed new referendum on abortion, this time from the Catholic Church.
It is reported that the Church is claiming that there are moral difficulties surrounding the definition of where life begins in the Government’s proposed amendment.
Under the terms of the proposal, life is defined as beginning at the moment of implantation.
But according to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, life begins at conception.
The pro-choice Irish Family Planning Association says that the referendum is seeking to make a woman’s right to life less equal that that of the unborn child.
