Some of the projects undertaken in 2012
We're Safer Without Abortion
We are SAFER without abortion: Pro-life women use public events to point to the fact that Ireland has one of the lowest maternal mortality rates in the world without abortion.
The campaign gathered women from throughout Ireland together to send a powerful message opposing the Abortion Bill and its fatally flawed claims. We sent letters to every elected representative and Senator presenting the evidence that shows women are safer without abortion. The letters were presented at Dáil Éireann by a colourful gathering of 400 women and children who said the proposals in the Abortion Bill were ‘not made in our name.’ Our thanks to the Deputies and Senators who came out to meet constituents at the event.

Video adverts on Suicide and Medical treatment
Explaining ABORTION IS NOT A TREATMENT for any medical condition arising in pregnancy - including suicide. Two powerful awareness campaigns directly challenged the government’s proposal to legalise abortion on suicide grounds.
Our newspaper advert (below) had more than 6 million views and was published in 29 local newspapers and 9 national papers, along with an informative OpEd from a clinical psychiatrist. Succinct and striking video infomercials (above) are set to reach a game-changing 300,000 views.
