Ireland’s about to take women out of its Constitution
NY Post
Irish voters are heading to the polls on International Women’s Day — Friday — to remove the words “woman” and “mother” from the Constitution.
Also up for vote: a measure that would widely expand the definition of “family.”
Two amendments are on the ballot: Article 39, on the family, and Article 40, on the role of women/mothers in society.
Article 39 would redefine the family to a grouping “founded on marriage,” as the Constitution now says, “or on other durable relationships.”
The proponents of the changes argue the current wording is exclusionary to single-parent and nonmarried households.
“The relationship that exists between a child and their mother or father when they’re born, that’s the one-parent family,” Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has said. “It’s committed, it’s caring, it’s long-lasting.”

Imagine if Allied intelligence had located Adolf Hitler in late May 1944 and killed him before the Normandy invasion. Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
