After 13 years, they are finally trying it!

They are trying to bring Gulags to Ireland Bump!

I believe you run a Pro-Life ping list, if you could do the honors.

The Catholic Church of Ireland has itself to blame as well.

Maybe... I'll have to think about that one..

As usual, the human rights of the human fetus are ignored by so-called "human rights" organizations.

I still can't believe that a formerly Catholic country such as Ireland ever approved the conscious, willful, premeditated murder of unborn children. I could see how a secularly drenched country like America could turn on the unborn, but the Ireland thing has always shocked me.

That's the Left for you - inventing nonexistent Rights, and ignoring the real ones!

I hope to God that the land of my ancestry does not follow the path a few tyrants in black robes did here, creating the darkest chapter of American history.

It's not here yet, we have been in legal Limbo for the past 13 years on this issue.

The X-Case is a classic example of Court activism - and it, like Roe vs Wade, ignored the will of the people.

So true. But it doesn't matter what the people of Ireland want - the euro-leftys are coming with their death cult defeatism and there aint' a thing we can do about it! We voted for unlimited abortion when we voted for the Nice treaty.

Bump!

"taoiseach"?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

And I think the running of Nice II was unconstitutional, seeing we had rejected it, I'll check that out and post tomorrow evening - I'm going to bed now, this thread was last minute thing, I just happened to see the article on the Eircom homepage.

Good night!!

"taoiseach"?

Sorry, I should have edited the page a bit more thoroughly, 'Taoiseach' is the title of the Irish Prime Minister, it is a Gaelic word roughly meaning 'chief'.

A UN committee focusing on women's rights has pressured governments to stop promoting motherhood and called on religions to change the interpretation of their sacred texts as part of a campaign to promote radical feminism, according to a Catholic pro-family group on Friday.

The Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute said the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women has used the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) to put pressure on the 163 countries that have ratified it to implement their vision of feminism.

The committee recently directed the government of Libya to reinterpret the Koran, the sacred text of Islam, "in light of the provisions of the Convention." ....The Committee criticized Croatia for allowing "church-related organizations to adversely influence" women's rights.

It told the Dominican Republic that an "intermingling of the secular and religious spheres" is a "serious impediment to implementing the Convention." .....The group also admonished Armenia to "use the educational system and electronic media to combat the traditional stereotype of women 'in the noble role of mother,'" and the Czech Republic was criticized for "over-protective measures for pregnancy and motherhood." ..."

International Women's Day

Ummmm. Just curious. When exactly is International Men's Day?

Abortion is illegal in Ireland.

Women have the right to information on abortion, and the right to travel to have an abortion.

But abortion - unless the life of the mother is seriously jeopardised - is illegal in Ireland.
