DUBLIN, Dec 1 (LSN) – On Friday, The Irish High Court sanctioned the abortion of a 13-week-old pre-born child. By permitting the 13-year-old alleged rape victim to leave the country to have an abortion abroad, the court has injected new life into the pro-abortion movement.

After three days of closed-door proceedings, Justice Hugh Geoghegan decided to reject the pleas of the girl's parents to save the life of their pre-born grandchild. Youth Defence, a pro-life group who was assisting the parents in the case and had raised funds for the care of the girl and her baby, noted that the parents had accepted the ruling and would not be making a further appeal to the Irish Supreme Court.
