ProLife activists held a powerful commemoration at Stormont to mark the sixth anniversary of Westminster forcing abortion on Northern Ireland, and as a call for action by the Northern Ireland Assembly to protect life. At the steps of Parliament Buildings they remembered the 11,192 unborn babies killed since 2020. 32 babies of those babies had actually been born alive. The memorial display showed 32 little white coffins to represent each of those little babies.
Speaking in front of Parliament Buildings, Director of Precious Life Bernadette Smyth said "We have organised this event to draw attention to the most recent abortion statistics published by the Department of Health for Northern Ireland which revealed that 2,899 babies were killed by abortion between 2024 and 2025, bringing the overall total since abortion for forced on Northern Ireland to 11,192 babies killed. This is equivalent to the population of Northern Ireland towns like Downpatrick, Limavady or Ballymoney. An average of 43 babies were killed each week, or an average of 6 babies killed every day. The average classroom size in Northern Ireland is 25 pupils. Therefore the number of babies killed by abortion is the equivalent of 448 classrooms full of children killed. If a minute's silence was held for each individual baby, the silence would last for one full week.
"Most of these little ones were poisoned and starved to death by the RU486 abortion drug. Their little bodies were flushed down toilets and into the sewers without a thought or a prayer."
She added, "Of particular concern is information obtained through Freedom of Information requests indicating that 32 babies born alive following abortion procedures subsequently received death certificates. These cases raise critical ethical, legal, and clinical questions that require immediate explanation.
