An Irish Pro-lifer is Taking This Extreme Measure to Challenge the Pro-abortion Prime Minister of His Country"I don't expect, quite honestly, that they're going to speak to me. But hopefully [my hunger strike] will change opinions." -Tim Jackson
Tim Jackson, 28, of Donegal ran as an independent in Ireland's last general election and has done aid work in Syria, the Central African Republic and India. He began his fast on September 18 outside the gates of the Irish parliament (or Dáil) building in Dublin. He intends to drink water and not to fast until death.

Sincerely, "I'm doing well, I have to say," Jackson told LifeSiteNews. "It's been two days now. I'm not suffering much. It's better than I expected, and they say the first few days are the hardest." Jackson said he hadn't yet heard from the Taoiseach or the Committee. "I don't expect, quite honestly, that they're going to speak to me," he admitted. "But hopefully [my hunger strike] will change opinions." Jackson has already been the subject of five or six interviews, and many people have clicked on the video that Jackson hopes the Irish legislators will watch... Continue reading here.
