Trudeau: Abortion Should Be a ‘Human Right’ in Ireland
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 8/21/17 | Staff Reporter

The Canadian PM urged his Irish counterpart to support 'reproductive rights'

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told his Irish counterpart that abortion in Ireland should be a “human right”.

At a three-day meeting between Mr Trudeau and Leo Varadkar, the Irish taoiseach, the two leaders spoke about Mr Varadkar’s plan to hold a referendum next year to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Irish constitution, which protects the right to life of the unborn child.

“We discussed the issue of abortion, which I know is an important issue for a lot of campaigners for women’s rights in Canada,” the taoiseach said.

“I updated the prime minister on our plans to have a referendum next year to give the people of Ireland the opportunity to remove our constitutional ban on abortion, should they wish to do so.”

Asked whether he had any advice for Mr Varadkar, Mr Trudeau said so-called “reproductive rights” were a fundamental human right.

“On the issue of reproductive rights, I shared our perspective that reproductive rights for women are integral to women’s rights in general and women’s rights are human rights and I encouraged him to look at it as a question of fundamental rights for women and we had a good discussion on that,” the Canadian Prime Minister said.

Canada has one of the laxest abortion regimes in the world, with women able to terminate their pregnancies at any stage up to birth for any reason.

Nothing can be rightly called a “human right” if it makes the person exercising it less human.

The only good thing about Just Not Ready Trudeau being a politician is that he doesn’t practice his former profession of being an elementary school teacher at West Point Grey Academy private school, and then later working as a substitute teacher for the Vancouver School Board.

His lack of intelligence and socialist attitude would have poisoned many young minds, and led them down the same path he’s followed of being a snobbish and boring hypocrite and leftest elitist who opens his mouth and says the dumbest things, not because he hasn’t thought of what to say... That’s the sad part, he is actually using his twisted reasoning when he makes these stupid public pronouncements.

God help Canada, we can’t get to the polls quick enough to rid ourselves of this embarrassing fool.

“All too human” Dr Mengele would approve.

Calling these people practicing this human is sick. Humanity is not human, by the way, except when it is a whore looking for a buck from a rich man, then she is part of humanity ,even if aborting...

I see Trudeau is saying that Canada is a nation of laws in an effort to stem the tide of illegal Haitians leaving the US. Wasn’t he just welcoming all refugees recently. He truly is an idiot. I feel sorry for y’all

George Soros’ longtime goal for Ireland has been to make it very abortion-friendly.

This is the next step the globalist one worlders are taking.

They all start spouting about how awful it is other places aren’t liberal enough.

They are all working to globalize and liberalize OTHER places too.

Screwing up several places at once isn’t multitasking.

There’s a “human right” to kill other humans?

If I were an Irishman, I would personally say, ‘STHU Dustbin, and go home!’ Unfortunately, I live in the Great White North and I DON’T want him to come home. ‘Please, stay the he#$ away from Canada, Dustbin!’

Anyone who supports abortion and has not been aborted is a hypocrite.

Varadkar:

During the 2015 same-sex marriage referendum he became the first openly gay Irish government minister and is the first minister of Indian heritage.[4] Upon his election as taoiseach Varadkar, aged 38, became the youngest person to hold the office, as well as the first person from a minority ethnic background to do so. He is also Ireland's first and the world's fourth openly gay head of government in modern times (following Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, Elio Di Rupo and Xavier Bettel).
