BTW, Ireland, while not a theocracy, has a very long history of allowing Catholicism to essentially make law there.

It wasn’t until 1992 that abortion became legal in theory only when the woman’s life was in danger. And they would bar you from travelling to another country to obtain one.

Even when the person seeking the abortion is a suicidal minor who is pregnant as a result of rape.
Until that case— 1992 Attorney General vs X — abortion was completely illegal under all circumstances.

That has only recently changed, but only when forced through court order:

In May 2007, a pregnant 17 year old girl, known only as Miss D, who was pregnant with a foetus suffering from anencephaly was prevented from travelling to Britain by the Health Service Executive. The High Court ruled on May 9 2007 that she could not be prevented from travelling. [1]

And there is currently an ongoing campaign:

Three women are challenging Ireland’s abortion laws. They say that their human rights have been abused because of the country’s position on abortion.

The women argue that their health and well-being were harmed because they had to travel to Britain to terminate pregnancies.

So it isn’t entirely a surprise that they would have this ridiculous law about blasphemy, I’m sorry to say.
