I asked the Taoiseach to ensure that the coroner carries out its duty in respect to the mass infant and child deaths in mother and baby homes👇.
It is the duty of a coroner to hold an inquest when a body is found in their district. See here: ℹ️ https://t.co/jQmq6ex1GK

If you agree, I am asking you to email your TDs, the Taoiseach & the Min for Children to tell them there needs to be an inquest into the deaths, as well as redress, access to data, a commission for the disappeared and further research.
I recommend reading the joint statement from Adoption Rights Alliance, Justice for Magdalene laundries and the Clann Project: ℹ️ https://t.co/0dijRv26up
Q. Where can I read a copy of the report for myself?
A. Right here: https://t.co/teNIYFIgAs
A. There are many.
Since its publication, the report has been broadly rejected by survivors, advocacy groups, human rights lawyers & the general public.
Some of the main issues identified:
This is an excellent article written by @CaelainnH, author of Republic of Shame👉📰 https://t.co/y8eUATfzN4
A. They matter because unfortunately this report and its flawed findings will colour what happens next.
A. I don't have an answer for this. It feels like they’re hoping it will go away & disappear back under the carpet. This happened after the McAleese and Ryan Report and others. We cannot let this happen again.
A. We all need to make sure this doesn’t fall out of the headlines. We are calling for an inquest (amongst other things) into the staggering numbers of infant deaths at the mother and baby homes.
A. It can happen if enough public pressure is put on the government to do it.
A. You retweet this and email your TDs, the Taoiseach and the Minister for Children to them you support this call for an inquest as well as urgent action in the areas of redress, access to data, a commission for the disappeared and further research.

Okay, let's do this summary again since there seems to be a collective amnesia relating to Christian Abolitionism in America.
Here again is a summary of the Christian Abolitionists’ arguments against enslavers’ appeals to the Scripture: Thread

Slavery is not a sin. It is never outlawed by the Bible. Manstealing is but not slavery.

Murdering babies and sodomy are sins according the the Bible. YOU don't get to make up things as you go Dolly, neither do I or Malachi.
Patriotism is an interesting concept in that it’s excepted to mean something positive to all of us and certainly seen as a morally marketable trait that can fit into any definition you want for it.+
Tolstoy, found it both stupid and immoral. It is stupid because every patriot holds his own country to be the best, which obviously negates all other countries.+
It is immoral because it enjoins us to promote our country’s interests at the expense of all other countries, employing any means, including war. It is thus at odds with the most basic rule of morality, which tells us not to do to others what we would not want them to do to us+
My sincere belief is that patriotism of a personal nature, which does not impede on personal and physical liberties of any other, is not only welcome but perhaps somewhat needed.
But isn’t adherence to a more humane code of life much better than nationalistic patriotism?+
Göring said, “people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”+
