Key points from the submission of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference to the Citizens’ Assembly on the topic of the Eighth Amendment.
– There is no such thing as a human life without value.
– Many thousands of Irish people are alive as a direct result of the enactment of the Eighth Amendment, who might otherwise never have been born.
– Supporting and sustaining a culture of life is in the interests of every generation and it defines us as a society.
– We believe that human life is sacred from conception until natural death and that Article 40.3.3 reflects the appropriate balance of rights.
The Diocese are producing a weekly leaflet called Choose Life. Copies of these will be available at the Church doors each week.
