Labour's Ivana Bacik accused the Catholic Church of being motivated by a hatred of women in their opposition to abortion. Senator Ivana Bacik accused the Catholic bishops of opposing the legislation due to their underlying belief in the "innate deceitfulness of women" and "misogyny".


Fine Gael Meath East TD Regina Doherty said she was at a loss why the Catholic Church was putting "both lives at risk" by giving no option when a rape victim was suicidal.


Bishop of Elphin Reverend Christopher Jones, was also criticised for using "offensive" and "disturbing" language and said "We claim that we must protect the innocent, voiceless and powerless unborn child in the womb. The solution of taking that life is no solution," he said. Bishop Jones insisted that the Catholic Church was opposed to the deliberate killing of an unborn baby – and not life-saving treatment for a mother.


This is rich considering the churches attitudes to kids over the last 70 years, here is the headline in today's times



The Holy See has not given up on Ireland. Despite two tempestuous decades of clerical sex abuse scandals, marked by the Irish Catholic Church’s unprecedented loss of credibility and moral authority, there are those in the Vatican who would still like to believe that Ireland can resume its once “proud” role of last bastion of traditional, conservative Catholicism in an increasingly atheist western Europe.
