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.

Interesting that he used the phrase quiet revolution.
Once-Catholic Quebec is now the most non-religious place on the planet.
Already the reception centers are full, soon to be overflowing with Africans and Asians who do not kill their babies. Even without dismembering their babies, white Irish women are already well below replacement birth rates.
Ireland, being small, will disappear very quickly.
The fertility rate in 1970 was 3.7 (above replacement), but as of 2018 has dropped to 1.9 (higher than USA, by the way, but below replacement). The fertility rate will unquestionably plummet with the legalization of abortion.
Bottom line --- barring a demographic miracle the likes of which has never been seen in modern society --- they will never recover.

>>Some pope (was it Pius IX?) said all the errors of the modern world are caused by Catholics not living and acting like Catholics.<<
As I Understand your comments, it appears that we are basically in agreement regarding the issues under discussion. I will try to identify the pope who made the statement you’ve referred to, because it supports the essence of my comment to which you first responded.
Thanks. If your could find the quote and source, that would be great.
God will be the ultimate judge.
Don’t these people know the Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.”?????
