Media should tally daily abortion deaths as well as Covid ones, so we can see how crooked our nation is

In response to the full commissioning of abortion services by the secretary of state, it was one thing to by-pass Stormount to enact this but another thing altogether to circumvent the Sixth Commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill’.

Since the fall-out of implementing these services across the Province has been estimated at 6,000 abortions annually, I would suggest the UK newspapers do what they have been doing for the past year with coronavirus cases and daily keep a count of how many new deaths have been caused by abortion in the past 24 hours. By so doing the public will be kept fully up to date with just how crooked and perverse a nation ours is.

Unlike the origins of Covid-19 at least we know the source of this more deadly ‘Westminster variant’ of Àbortion-21 washed up on Ulster’s shores.
