Irish and Italian Women Rejecting Abortion: Stats

"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves over to destroying human life in abortions." - Jesus, June 6, 1987

LifeSiteNews.com reported on November 9, 2010:

Abortion is losing ground in some countries of Europe, with numbers of abortions falling in Italy among native Italians and among Irish women who travel to Britain to abort.

The number of women travelling to the UK from Ireland for abortions has dropped 30 percent since 2002, government statistics show. Abortion remains illegal in Ireland and Northern Ireland, although the law is under constant pressure from foreign abortion activists.

At the same time, a recently released report from the Italian government shows that abortion rates have fallen significantly among Italian women since the practice was legalized in 1978.

Under the UK’s abortion Regulations 1991, doctors who commit abortions must send details to Britain’s Chief Medical Officer. In 2002 those records showed that 7,913 abortions were committed on women from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in hospitals and clinics in England and Wales.

By 2009, that number had fallen to 5545 - a drop of 29.9 percent.

Abortions in England and Wales overall have risen steadily since 1970, from approximately 5 per 1000 population aged 15-44, to 17.5 in 2009.

The Italian government’s 2009 report on abortion shows that abortion rates have also dropped among Italian women. In that country, abortion rates reached a peak of 234,801 in 1982. By 2009, that number had fallen to 116, 933, less than half the peak-year number. The numbers have declined steadily over the last five years.

At the same time, it is being reported by pro-abortion groups and MEPs at the EU that doctors in Italy are increasingly refusing to commit abortions. Seventy percent of Italian doctors refuse, with that number growing to over 80 percent in the region of Lazio, the region of the city of Rome.

In 2009, the Italian abortion rate was 8.3 per 1,000 women aged 15-49, a 3.9 percent decline from 2008. This compares with the 1982 ratio of 17.2 per 1,000. In 2008, the official statistics showed that foreign women accounted for 33 percent of all abortions in Italy, compared with 10 percent in 1998.

Andrew Pollard, a British business consultant and demographer who lectures on issues surrounding contraception and abortion as it relates to population decline, cautioned, however, that the abortion stats may be skewed by the popularity of the RU-486 abortion drug, commonly called “medical” abortion by advocates.

Pollard told LSN, “These numbers may reflect actual declines in surgical abortion but not the rise in chemical abortion which may be replacing it. But like contraception the chemicals don’t always work or are not taken properly so women in these situations turn to pregnancy centres (savers or killers) all the same.”

"The Eternal Father command that you stop these murders at once! You will not destroy the lives of the unborn. Human life is sacred in the eyes of your God. No man has the right to destroy a life. The Father, He sends this life to you, and only He will decide when it will return back to the Kingdom.
"Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1971

THE UNITED STATES SHALL FALL
"How can a great country like the United States fall, you say, My child? You ask Me in your heart. I read your heart. I will tell you why. Because they have given themselves over to satan. When a country has lost its morality and seeks the pleasures of the flesh, giving over, themselves over, to all manner of abominations, like homosexuality, and condoning this up the highest courts of the land, then that country shall fall." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 1, 1985

DOCTORS
"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves over to destroying human life in abortions." - Jesus, June 6, 1987

FOULEST OF DEEDS
"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
"I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976

DESTROYED
"All who become part of or condone abortion, the murder of the young, shall be destroyed!" - Jesus, June 2, 1979

HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED
"The Eternal Father command that you stop these murders at once! You will not destroy the lives of the unborn. Human life is sacred in the eyes of your God. No man has the right to destroy a life. The Father, He sends this life to you, and only He will decide when it will return back to the Kingdom.
"Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends." - Our Lady, August 5, 1971

WILL NEVER BE CONDONED
"You will remember, My children and My child, to guard the young. Your clergy have fallen into darkness. Abortion will never be condoned. But We must have others who fervently will go forward and bring out to the minds of those who have actually seduced the country and the children--bring them the knowledge of Heaven, hell and purgatory. Then they will not have free license to sin." - Our Lady, May 28, 1983

GOVERNMENT
"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." - Our Lady, April 14, 1984

NUNS
"That is what makes My heart ache, My child. That is one of the reasons Theresa is crying constantly when she looks into the convents and sees what is going on. Many now believe in abortion, the murders of the children; and many have committed this act upon themselves." - Jesus, October 1, 1988

SIXTY MILLION
"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world." - Our Lady, June 18, 1986

TREATED AS GARBAGE
"O My child, My tears fall upon you all when I see all of the innocent little babies being slaughtered . . . cast into garbage pails like nothing but dirt and scum. They are living human beings! And all murderers shall get their just recompense." - Our Lady, March 18, 1983

HOLY SPIRIT
"At the time of conception, the Holy Spirit makes the child, and the breath of the Almighty gives it life." - Our Lady, June 18, 1991

LIMBO
"And what, My children, are We going to do with all the aborted babies? O My child, I know you feel as I do, for I can see the great distress on your face. What are We going to do, My child? Do you understand when they come to Us, they must go to Limbo? They are in Heaven, a happy place, but they cannot see God." - Our Lady, October 2, 1987

SORROWFULLY
"Sorrowfully, the penance that is to come upon the world for the murders of the unborn shall be a chastisement far greater in severity than man has ever witnessed in the past nor ever shall pass through again. Your world is plunging into a deep chasm of suffering and destruction." - Our Lady, May 20, 1978

OATH
"Your once loyal to the oath of a doctor, your once loyal doctors are now butchers! For money they kill the young!" - Our Lady, February 10, 1978

WOE TO THE WOMAN
"Know, My child, this simple lesson, that in these days of the latter times, women will seek to cast off their role as mother and a woman. Women will cast it off under the direction of satan, and murder her children. Woe to the woman who does not repent of this vile abomination! She has walked the road to eternal damnation and hell. Repent, O woman, or forever be lost!" - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
