For many reasons, pro-life advocates in Northern Ireland want the attorney general to challenge a November court ruling that would legalize more abortions.
"The right to life is a shared human value, not a uniquely religious value," said Tim Bartlett, secretary of the Northern Ireland Catholic Council for Social Affairs.
He added that the right to life of an innocent person is "always inviolable" and "a fundamental moral principle on which society and human rights should stand."
"That right begins from the moment of conception, and science affirms that," Bartlett said, according to the London daily The Guardian.
