Just weeks after a lopsided, groundbreaking vote struck down Ireland’s constitutional ban on legal abortion, the country’s Taoiseach signaled the broader moral and legal implications of this sea change in a once deeply Catholic nation.
“It will not … be possible for publicly funded hospitals, no matter who their patron or owner is,” Leo Varadkar told the Dáil, “to opt out of providing these necessary services which will be legal in this state once this legislation is passed by the Dáil [the lower house of the Irish legislature] and Seanad [senate].”
Britain’s Catholic Herald reported today that two large hospitals in Dublin are owned by religious orders: the Sisters of Charity’s St Vincent’s Healthcare Group and the Sisters of Mary’s Mater Hospital. Both, along with other Catholic medical institutions, will soon confront the full reality of abortion on demand.

It is against many aspects of essential Western concepts of Liberty, and its freedoms, that something morphs, in law, from being legally permissable, to becoming mandatory to support and even to help provide.
It is one thing to accept something controversial be made a legal choice for someone. It is an entirely different matter, and a taking of others Liberty, to suggest that legality requires others to mandatorially participate in the controversial subject as well. It takes Liberty and any universal application of it and reduces it to no more than what the law prejudicially decides, regardless of essential Liberties that belong to those who disagree.
Smoking is legal. Are you required to support it? No. The same is true for gambling, pornography and now use of marijuana as well. But there also you are not required by law to support those controversial things just because they are legal. Yet abortion has escaped those essential Liberty rules and established itself not as a simple Liberty someone may choose, but a legal imposition on everyone else as well. It is altogether wrong.

Same thing for homosexual “marriage.” Agree with it or be ruined.
