Ireland on Saturday voted to erase the stigma and burden of shame from hundreds of thousands of women who secretly had abortions, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said.

Speaking after a landslide referendum in favour of repealing the republic's ban on abortions, Varadkar said Ireland had emerged from the shadows and come of age.

"Today is an historic day for Ireland. A quiet revolution has taken place," he said in a speech at Dublin Castle, where the referendum result was declared, showing 66 percent had voted to repeal the constitutional ban on abortions.

Varadkar, Ireland's first gay prime minister, came to power last year in what was seen as another major milestone for diversity in Ireland. He took over as leader of the centre-right Fine Gael party, leading a minority government.

“erase the stigma and burden of shame”

God and your conscience have a different view.

The stigma of murdering your own child is gone? I wonder how true that is in Ireland (or in the USA).

“Varadkar, Ireland’s first gay prime minister, came to power last year in what was seen as another major milestone for diversity in Ireland.”

More diversity, more baby killing.

What’s next?

It’s so very sad what has happened to air eland. Of course, United States of America has led the way into the abyss. From whence shall come the rebirth of the Christian faith?

It’s still murder and God still doesn’t approve.

The stigma may be gone, but the guilt isn’t.

“a quiet revolution has taken place”

Bravo Sierra.

It is yet another front in the revolution which began in the Garden of Eden when Adam decided to “be like God”.

There is nothing “quiet” about giving God a Foxtrot Uniform.

The Prime Minister of Ireland is an Indian faggot so of course he's in favor of murder on demand.

Ultimately all these idiots who praise the government for giving them the legal opportunity to kill thier own children comes down to the individual and God on judgment day.

The continuing meltdown of basic human dignity and morality in western culture is the horrendous result of the failure of the Roman Catholic Church to uphold and to teach the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith, a failure which was codified by the leftist ideologues who controlled the Second Vatican Council.
