“A great many people are always asking what is the good of keeping these children alive? I quite agree that it would be a great deal kinder to strangle these children at birth than to put them out to nurse.” -- Doctor Ella Webb, June 18, 1924, speaking about illegitimate children in care in Ireland at the time.

The story of Doctor Webb’s comments was in the Irish Times that day in 1924. It was allowed to go without outrage or question.

How do you like euthanasia Irish Catholic style?
..
Her answer is clear: it was condoned and covered up by the political, religious and medical establishment at the time.

Folks, Holy Catholic Ireland was a monstrous hoax. Rampant pro-abortion forces had nothing on God’s little executioners when it came to children out of wedlock.

The sin of having sex outside marriage was all encompassing. The progeny of such sex were the devil’s spawn.
..
One in four of the little children would die within a year of birth out of wedlock, according to available records. In Dr. Webb’s time, a commission found that: “The illegitimate child being proof of the mother’s shame is in most cases sought to be hidden at all costs…the child becomes an encumbrance on the foster mother who has no interest in keeping it alive.”

Note how the baby was called "it".

The mortality rate was 25 percent on average over the years, only seven percent for the “normal” population.
..
A 1935 report unearthed by Byrne states: “Doubtless the great proportion of deaths in these cases is due to congenital debility, congenital malformation and other antenatal causes traceable to the conditions associated with the unfortunate lot of the unmarried mother.”

There you have it. A child out of wedlock was the fault of the clearly morally and physically corrupted single mother. The official Irish state had ruled.

No wonder the poor outcasts were allowed to die of neglect. If the Nazis did it we’d be outraged and talk of genocide would swirl.

The Irish state did it to its own children – murdered them by the thousands by neglect and hate.
...
DNA analysis of selected remains confirmed the ages of the dead ranged from 35 weeks to 3 years old and that they were buried chiefly in the 1950s, when the overcrowded facility was one of more than a dozen in Ireland offering “shelter” to orphans, unwed mothers and their children. The Tuam home closed in 1961.

Catherine Corless tracked down death certificates for nearly 800 children. Eighteen she discovered died of starvation; yes, they were starved to death.

1. This from people who think abortion is murder.

I have always been outraged that the mother is always the only one responsible for a pregnancy. Apparently there have never been men involved in the conception.

6. reminds me of the virgin birth

2. Catherine Corless tracked down death certificates for nearly 800 children.

Incredibly sad interview here:

So true too. Won't say why I know this.

3. I knew murder was involved

Common sense.

5. Why do religion and government have such focus on "the pelvic issues"?

It's very disturbing and tells me that those who have that kind of focus have some serious unresolved "pelvic issues" of their own that they should deal with.
