The proposed Citizens’ Assembly on abortion is a “pretend process with a prearranged outcome”, the Pro Life Campaign (PLC) has said.
Responding to the announcement that the assembly shall be set up soon, PLC spokesperson Cora Sherlock said “no amount of spin from Government ministers can disguise the fact that the process is about anything other than stripping the unborn child of its last remaining legal protections”.
She said the Government was beginning a process that is “ultimately about taking away fundamental human rights protections, not adding to them”, and said the PLC “will challenge this sham process every step of the way”.
