Sad to read Liam Neeson supports the destruction of most vulnerable

Dear Editor, It was sad to read of Liam Neeson’s part in a video to influence the repeal of the 8th Amendment (IC 22/10/2015). He has been gifted with speaking and acting skills, his heroic roles are those of defending the vulnerable and being a hero in many of his films. How strange that he should use these very gifts and his admired persona to support the destruction of the most vulnerable in the womb or those not considered perfect. 

Amnesty has long ago lost its purpose but still masquerades in terms of ‘human rights’. The day we cease to defend the vulnerable and talk of ‘childcare’ etc. reduces us to being hypocrites. We were so proud of Liam Neeson.

Yours etc.,
