Projects in 2006
Some of the projects undertaken for 2006
School visits
Just Life undertook its annual task of sending every school in the country beautifully designed pro-life materials.
On the school visits to make the Just Life presentation, the topic of embryo research is raised several times.
Parents for Children warn against Constitutional change
Parents for Children get together to warn against proposed changes to the Irish Constitution concerning family law and the protection of children.
In December a Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, announced that there would be a “Children’s Rights” referendum in March 2007. Self-appointed (and well-funded) children’s rights groups such as Barnardos and the Children’s Rights Alliance (CRA) were ready with advertising campaigns and amendment wordings to greet the announcement.
The mooted changes in the definition of children’s rights were worrying for the status of the family because rather than protecting children they appeared to put the state in the place of Big Brother and hand children over into the “care” of the state. This caused concern to parents who were all too well aware of the abysmal record of the state when it came to the care of children.
