Because letting women live is controversial. If the vessel cannot bring forth the child, the vessel—who has no value outside of being a baby machine—needs to be tossed onto the trash. That said vessel is a human being with feelings, thoughts, and people who love her is no matter, apparently. I bet even veterinarians in Ireland are allowed to abort a pet’s pregnancy if it’s a danger to the animal. That’s where women rank in the minds of anti-abortion fanatics.
Irish Catholicism is especially mean and virulent in its hatred of women. Witness its centuries-long history of the Magdalene laundries:
The Irish State has finally said sorry to 10,000 women and girls incarcerated in Catholic Church-run laundries where they were treated as virtual slaves.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny was forced into issuing a fulsome apology on Tuesday evening to those held in the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland.
The apology in the Dáil (Irish parliament) came about two weeks after a damning 1,000-plus page report was released detailing the way women and girls were maltreated inside the nun-controlled laundries.
Mind you the double-edged sword of the Irish Catholic hatred of women. They hate a woman unmarried if she is pregnant. Let her die of abuse and neglect in a Magdalene laundry.
They hate a woman who needs an abortion because of life or health endangerment, rape, incest, other health issues. Let the woman die. She is only a breeding cow, not a real human being.
Witness the martyrdom of Savita Halpannavar who was sacrificed to Catholic religious fanaticism when she was denied a live-saving abortion in an Irish Catholic hospital.
Priests in Ireland are worshiped as gods in a dark, backward swamp where their scandalous behavior has finally, at long last in this millennium, been examined and subjected to justice:
THE DIOCESES OF Elphin, Killala and Waterford join the infamous group of six Catholic Church authorities, including Derry, Dramore and Limerick, where not one priest has been convicted for having committed an offence or offences against a child or young person despite numerous allegations since 1 January 1975.
From the 16 dioceses reviewed to date by the National Board for Safeguarding Children, there have been 164 allegations made in relation to 85 priests where there have been no convictions. This represents a third of the church authorities examined where not one priest was held to account. Following the publication of the third tranche of audits, today is yet another difficult day to bear for any survivor from these Catholic Church authorities.
A curse upon the criminally cruel Catholic College of Cardinals and all its sub-entities the priests who range free to abuse and abuse again and again, and its wicked policies of hatred against women -- by the flaming hair of Freya I say this.
