The Christian Institute is objecting to the fact that the Irish Civil Partnership bill does not allow for a conscience opt out clause for registrars.
The problem is where do you draw the line? Can a registrar refuse to register a baby born of unwed parents; can they refuse to register the marriage of a couple where at least one of the couple is a divorcee; can they refuse to register the marriage of a mixed race or religion couple?
In the end one could almost get out of doing the job entirely ... and be paid for it. Nice job if you can get it!!!
A registrar is a civil role and it is their job to register that which the law allows. Otherwise, one needs to get another job.
To refuse to perform a civil partnership but willing to register the other heterosexual "sins" is hypocritical.
