The Irish government conceded on Saturday that it had likely lost two referenda to change what it called “sexist” language in the constitution in an embarrassing defeat. Ireland went to the polls on Friday in votes deliberately timed to coincide with International Women’s Day to replace two constitutional references. One said that the the family unit was “founded” on marriage, the other that a woman supports the Irish state through “her life within the home.
If the votes passed, the constitution would say the family is based “on marriage or on other durable relationships.” Religious and socially conservative groups who campaigned for a “No” vote took issue with the concept of a “durable relationship” and argued in support of the constitution’s original wording.
