It is "barbaric" that 108 babies were born alive after abortion between 2019 and 2023 in Ireland, and that those who could have received life-saving interventions were 'clearly then left to die', a leading pro-life group has said, in a call for a full inquiry on "what is happening in relation to abortion provision in Ireland". 

(...)

Life Institute were amongst a host of national organisations and political figures who have called for a debate on the issue after figures released to Independent TD Mattie McGrath by the HSE in response to a parliamentary question showed that 108 babies were born alive following abortions in the five year period 2019-2023.

It is shown that in 2023, the most recent year for which data is available, 29 babies survived a termination procedure in that year alone, Life Institute spokeswoman Sandra Parda said.

The table released to Deputy McGrath showed that there were 108 babies who were born and then recorded as an "early neonatal death" after Termination of Pregnancy (TOP).

While 17 babies were born alive after abortion in 2019m, that number had almost doubled to 29 in 2023 (figures for 2024/5 are not yet available, the HSE said) - with a total of 108 such cases in the 5 year period.

In addition, the data showed that 47 babies who were greater than 24 weeks gestation (approximately six months) and/or 500g at the time of the birth after abortion was listed as having suffered an early neonatal death after a termination of pregnancy.

Ms Parda said that it was "deeply disquieting and disturbing" to see that, in total, 32 babies had been aborted and then born alive although no major congenital anomaly had not been diagnosed: with 3 such deaths taking place in 2019, 7 in 2020, 5 in 2021, 8 in 2022 and 9 in 2023.

In addition, it was evident that 4 unborn babies who were more than 24 weeks gestation and/or more than 500g birthweight were aborted although there was no diagnosis of a major abnormality, she said.

A Father Used a Gun to Stop Doctors from Discontinuing Life Support Of His Son

In January 2015, George Pickering II brought a handgun into Tomball Regional Medical Center in Texas after learning that doctors, along with other family decision-makers, planned to discontinue life support for his adult son, George Pickering III, who had suffered a massive stroke and was believed unlikely to recover.

The situation escalated into an hours-long standoff with police inside the hospital room. No shots were fired, no one was injured, and Pickering eventually surrendered peacefully. He was arrested and later faced charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, serving time for his actions.

During the delay, signs of responsiveness were observed from his son. Contrary to initial expectations, George Pickering III survived and later recovered.

The incident remains a widely shared and debated case—highlighting the emotional weight of end-of-life medical decisions, the legal consequences of taking matters into one’s own hands, and the extraordinary turn of events that followed.

🚨 THIS SHOULD ALARM EVERY PARENT

The Florida Department of Health randomly purchased baby formula from stores — and what they found is disturbing.

They bought 25 infant formulas from seven different brands, both online and in-store, and tested them for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.

The results?

👉 Nearly 70% tested positive for heavy metals above federal limits.
👉 16 out of 24 formulas contained one or more dangerous metals exceeding standards.

Let that sink in.

These aren’t supplements.
These aren’t optional products.
This is baby formula — the primary source of nutrition for infants.

Arsenic.
Lead.
Mercury.

All substances that parents assume are tightly controlled — and all found where they absolutely should not be.

This wasn’t activist testing.
This wasn’t a cherry-picked sample.

It was random, routine purchases — the same products families buy every day.

If this many failed in a small test group, the bigger question is obvious:

How long has this been happening… and why are parents only hearing about it now?
