The Master of the Rotunda maternity hospital has claimed ‘kindness’ should be at the heart of conducting abortions [1]. His remark has been criticised by the Pro-Life Campaign.
In an interview with the Irish Times, Prof Sean Daly was quoted as saying he “really believe[s] that kindness is the essence of care”.
In response, the Pro Life Campaign released a statement asking if he seriously believes [2], “the abortion regime that operates in the Rotunda Hospital under his watch is a true and serious example of kindness and care in practice?”
“Has he any concerns at all about the soaring abortion rate in Ireland since the law changed? In his desire to put kindness at the centre of everything, has he taken the time to meet with and listen to the stories of women who chose to abort their babies at his hospital and now deeply regret their decision?”
