Following the success of Bizsoc’s Biggest Ever Mystery Tour, the Business Society’s next event involves a number of lucky people heading to Dublin on Monday 16th of November, staying overnight in a City Centre hotel and returning the next evening. On the Monday, we will be taking in a number of interesting visits to prominent city centre locations, followed by dinner at a plush City Centre restaurant and after that we will be attending the RTE Studios for Pat Kenny’s new show ‘The Frontline’, where we will be special guests in the live studio audience.

The following day we will be visiting the Central Bank, Leinster House and the Four Courts. We will also be having a reception with an important special mystery guest.

Life Society will be hosting Lila Rose, the founder of LiveAction.org, who has gained international recognition for her work uncovering the illegal activities of the International Planned Parenthood Federation in the States. She will be presenting a talk about this international abortion provider and its affiliates, including the China Family Planning Association and the Irish Family Planning Association. For the past few years she has been engaged in field research into IPPF abortion clinics and staff, focusing on their attitudes toward the many young girls coming in with crisis pregnancies. "Planned Parenthood is looking at these young girls as a plumbing problem: 'We'll get you that abortion and send you on your way,'" Rose told Reuters in an interview. "And that's disrespecting two human lives. It's destroying her pre-born child and sending her back to an abuser."

Lila will take questions and comments from the audience at the conclusion of her presentation. A reception will follow. This event is free and open to the public but the content is not suitable for young children. All students and faculty are invited to attend.

The issue of abortion is never too far from political and ethical discourse in modern society and is an issue that elicits a strong response in almost every person. In the toughest of all debates, Lit & Deb deals with the very serious issue of the unborn child, the mother’s rights, and whether the state can or should step in.

Speaking in favour of the motion will be Gabrielle Malone, Programme Director for the Mary Stopes Reproductive Choices Clinic in Dublin and a representative from the Irish Family Planning Association. On the other side will be Bernadette Smyth, Director of ‘Precious Life’ and Fine Gael TD, Lucinda Creighton.

This thought inspiring documentary highlights the arguments which exist against religion, arguments which go completely uncountered by the religious people Dawkins speaks to. People get hung up on the fact Dawkins has not been "respectful" but that is precisely the point of this documentary; it is questioning why people demand a special "respect" for these insane beliefs about sky-fairies and demons etc despite the fact they are self evidently nonsensical. Richard Dawkins has no such hold ups and questions religious beliefs as the scientific assertions they are, making a convincing and clear-cut case against religion in all it's forms. This documentary is a truly inspiring piece of work and should be watched by atheists and the few religious people brave enough to listen to reason instead of believing "bronze age myths".
