Under the Lisbon Treaty the EU Court of Justice will have the final say on our social laws and the EU's social charter will be made legally binding across the EU. That could force us to change our laws on issues as important as how we raise and educate our children, legalization of prostitution and drugs, abortion and euthanasia. Lisbon would turn Ireland into a province or region of an EU superstate and make us citizens of it first rather than of our Republic.
