Tim Jackson, 28, is a self-employed marketing consultant and theology graduate of St Patrick's College, Maynooth. He has done aid work in Syria, the Central African Republic and India. Tim ran as an Independent candidate in the Irish General Election in 2016. He is part of the White Flag Movement that started a petition calling the Abortion Committee of the Irish parliament to watch a video on abortion, before deciding to introduce the killing of unborn babies in Ireland. On September 18, Tim started a hunger strike in order to reinforce this demand. He spoke on September 21 to en.news.
Tim, why did you start a hunger strike outside the Irish parliament in Dublin?
My central demand is that the abortion committee of the Irish parliament watches a video of an abortion, before deciding to pass through a referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment, which is a constitutional ban on abortion. They must watch what happens to victims of abortions. It’s gruesome.
Where can such videos be seen?

The fight is excellent, but the hunger strike doesn't solve anything. The Catholic Church will never approve of this stupid thing because it's amoral.

There seems to be some indication that the committee might honor Tim Jackson's request on Wednesday, Sept. 27, per White Flag Movement's Facebook page.

Greetings from a resident of the Land of Saints and Sociologists (once known as Ireland) and which land touts as the Preamble to its Constitution:
"In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred, We, the people of Éire..."
It is now almost certain that in 2018 'the people of Éire' will have placed before them a proposed change to the 8th Amendment of the Constitution which will permit abortions to be conducted in Éire.
Abhorrent as abortion is in the sight of the Most Holy Trinity, the very thought of contemplating such a change, i.e. endorsing a sin which cries out to God for vengeance, is yet another bald-faced governmental affront to the Most Holy Trinity hard on the heels of the electorate's 2015 approval of same-sex 'marriage'.
Better that the Nation should perish than one innocent die. (ref. John 11:50)
Thank you, Tim, for your courageous witness to the Truth.
