Closer to the Brink: Portugal's Abortion Referendum

Our Lady said at Fatima: "In Portugal, the dogmas of the Faith will always be kept". The Third Secret followed immediately after this.

Portugal's abortion referendum of 11th February 2007 - carried by a smallish majority of voters - is invalid because the voter turnout was well below the legally necessary 50%. Nevertheless the Socialist Party in power declared that it will press ahead with the legislation.

And on the same day, there was an earthquake off the coast of Portugal: 6 on the Richter scale. The shock was felt as far afield as Morocco on the African coast. Dozens of the tallest buildings in Lisbon were evacuated.

Further comment would be superfluous.
