A CONSTITUTIONAL DECREE ABOUT “MOTHER’S DUTIES AT HOME”?????
That seems more than INTRUSIVE.
what the hell does this even mean?
“That seems more than INTRUSIVE.”
So, the situation is this... the Irish constitution currently has the following language:
“The State recognises the Family as the natural primary and fundamental unit group of Society, and as a moral institution possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law.”
“The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded, and to protect it against attack.”
“In particular, the State recognises that by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved.”
“The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home.”
The referenda were to replace all that with some gender-neutral, homosexual-friendly wording that downplayed marriage and traditional gender roles. Voters said no.
