Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has acknowledged that women in Ireland do not enjoy full equality “in lots of different fields”.

His comment came while answering questions in Longford yesterday, about an earlier call by the Children’s Minister for “reproductive justice” for Ireland.

Mr. Varadkar told Shannonside FM that he welcomed Katherine Zappone’s contribution to the abortion debate. …

I resent the inequality evident in the tiny instance of men having abortions. Considering males comprise half the population, it is inexcusable.

If God had a say,the unborn would have equality and the right to their own life. I do not think free will belongs to those who are knowingly irresponsible with sex and think abortion is not infanticide but elective medical care. Creating life is not a mistake and a baby is not refuse. How sick and twisted evil these lovers of murder of the unborn and the truly innocent. It makes me weep for humanity and the de-evolving of humans. We can’t forget that it mocks God.

God always has a say. However, he gave humanity free will.

Women have the legal right to protect their preborn baby daughters and sons between conception and birth.

Men need to also have the legal right to protect their preborn baby daughters and sons between conception and birth.

This newly elected leader for Ireland is, in my opinion a blight on the country. He will do nothing but lead the Irish down the road to perdition. Those voters who so embraced the smear of socialism so quickly are the authors of their own demise.

Well, he was not popularly elected. No prime minister is, but he got in due to the resignation of his predecessor Enda Kenny.
“The government I will lead will not be one of left or right, but will be one of the European center as we seek to build a republic of opportunity.” …
That of course means he’s more of a sellout of Irish sovereignty than Kenny was, and Kenny was a big sellout thereof.

So equality means being able to murder your unborn.

So he wishes for the women of Ireland to be reduced to nothing but cash cows for the greedy and heartless abortion industry. I suppose he also sees women as nothing more than giant walking genitalia—the image that American “feminists” are currently pushing.

Abortion has nothing to do with women’s rights. But to hear abortion advocates, it is the only right women can possibly have or want. Women do not need freedom, as long as they can have irresponsible sex and kill their babies.

Well, he’s also homosexual, so I don’t know exactly how distorted his image of women might be.

He is of course pushing the whole “equal rights” line that has appeared in just about every communist constitution since the 1920s.

Hold that thought for when Merkel is "reelected" later this month!

‘God always has a say. However, he gave humanity free will.’

ergo, God has no say...except to dispense justice in the after life, which evidently has little impact on earthly behavior...

No, God has a say. Merely because He isn’t punishing the wicked for us (plainly gave us that job) and does not take our free will away does not mean He has no say.

And no, He does not always wait for the “afterlife” to act. Never mind sustaining all of reality for us while we take it for granted.
