Mayo University Hospital has confirmed that 11 medical abortions [1] have been performed in the facility since the enactment of abortion legislation on January 1st.
That’s according to a report that appeared in the Connaught Telegraph this week.
The hospital also revealed that five nurses/midwives and five doctors have raised concerns about conscientious objection, while there has been one refusal to provide an abortion.
Cora Sherlock of the Pro-Life Campaign tweeted that, “11 human beings have had their lives deliberately ended in Mayo. All those who proposed, or voted for, the most extreme abortion law in Europe are responsible for this atrocity [2].”
In January a staff member of the Hospital was disciplined for airing his anti-abortion views on a social media posting [3] while wearing his uniform.
