Ireland, too, has a Party Against Nature, just as most of the West does. That Party Against Nature came up with a couple of constitutional changes and put them to the ballot. The proposals were to get rid of "outdated" (1937) constitutional language about the role of women and the nature of the family.
The first proposed subversion:
Proposed to change Article 41.1.1° text in bold:
Article 41.1.1° “The State recognises the Family, whether founded on marriage or on other durable relationships, 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 second:
Proposed to change Article 41.3.1° by deleting text shown with line through it:
“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.”
Both were body-slammed by the Irish voters, by 2:1 and 3:1 margins.
Good.
