The former Lord Mayor stated that many of the Irish Republic love their Constitution as well, considering it a part of their foundation in the 1930s and 40s and holds a place for those who are Catholic, as the Catholic Church has much say in legislation. When creating this Constitution for the Republic, the Catholic Church had many of their views incorporated, including their views on binary gender roles. This comprised of the views that women should stay in the home and that abortions are illegal. America is still dealing with gender rights, but gender rights have now moved beyond a binary gender society. The problem is that the movements in America need to become more intersectional in order to create change. Meanwhile, the Irish Constitution has not relieved those views from their document and continue to support a society forced into a way of life depending on their gender. An issue that piggybacks off gender rights is that abortions are not legalized in the northern part of Ireland; the former Lord Mayor even stated that women leave the country and go to Britain for abortions. Though she did not state if these were done legally, it is fair to say that many are probably not done
