A large pro-life protest in Dublin has heard that a major social media campaign has been launched to bring the ‘sickening’ videos which captured abortionists discussing the sale of aborted baby parts to the Irish public.

Pro-life activists held signs calling for the Irish Family Planning Association – the Irish affiliate of Planned Parenthood - to be defunded, and posters of unborn babies with the question: How Much Are Her Body Parts Worth?  

 
Clare Molloy of Youth Defence said the Irish media has largely ignored the scandal, even though the undercover videos had been watched some 12 million times, and that Youth Defence were rolling out a social media campaign to ensure that at least 200,000 Irish people saw the shocking reality and callous cruelty of the abortion industry.
 
The pro-life activists also distributed leaflets in Dublin city centre today outlining what was in the undercover videos and urging the public to view the shocking footage online.  
 
Planned Parenthood, the biggest player in the global abortion industry, has been rocked by the series of videos showing high-level executives discussing how to best harvest body parts from aborted babies, including suggestions of partial birth abortion, and evidence of harvesting  organs from babies whose hearts were still beating.

 
“We know that the IFPA’s website boasts of being a member of Planned Parenthood but they have not condemned the horror being revealed by these videos which show Planned Parenthood are harvesting and selling aborted baby parts,” said Clare Molloy of Youth Defence.  She said that the videos were ‘sickening’ and that Planned Parenthood’s actions were ‘depraved and inhuman’.
 
“What these videos show is that the abortion industry is devoid of compassion. We see not just the sale of baby parts but a technician describe the hideous practise of cutting into a baby’s face to harvest the brain, while the baby’s heart is still beating. We see top executives boast that they will crush the baby being aborted in a way that will ensure organs are left intact for sale. Is this what we want for Ireland? ” she asked.
 
“It’s time to end the cover-up of these horrific practises by abortion providers who simply don’t care about either mother or baby and are only interested in profiting from women in crisis.”  
 
The protest on the IFPA centre on Cathal Brugha Street took place from 12 to 2pm today. More than 350 protests against Planned Parenthood are being held globally today, in the US, the Netherlands, Slovakia, the UK, Mexico and elsewhere
