Catholic Crisis Pregnancy Agency Cura Shuts in ‘New and Changed’ Ireland

A crisis pregnancy agency funded by the Catholic Church has announced plans to shutdown.

The announcement comes a month after the Union of Students in Ireland disassociated itself from Cura due to their failure to ‘provide ‘full support’ for pregnant people when it comes to abortion and abortion support’.

In a statement, the agency announced that it will wind down its services by Friday, June 15 due to this ‘new and changed environment’.

‘In this new and changed environment we have been experiencing decreasing service demands in line with national trends and we feel this decision, which has been considered carefully for a number of years, is now the correct one,’ it said.

Charlotte Keery, Cura national PRO and former Cura counsellor described it as ‘a difficult day for all of us but also a proud day as from 1977, we in Cura were there to care, to listen without judgment for as long as the person needed’.

‘We then helped them to access other supports in response to their individual needs as their crisis lessened and they began take control of their future plans, as we are doing now in a somewhat more strategic way in 2018.

‘It’s time to pass our work on to other counselling services who will continue in the support and care of each individual who needs them.’

Anyone who is pro-abortion should get a free tour of Auschwitz. Seeing the children’s clothes and shoes from the 220,000 children executed there should be enough to turn anyone pro-life.

Wow. They're folding and doing exactly what the "new Ireland" wants them to do, instead of fighting for what's right.

Idiots.
