A public proceeding on abortion will be held in the Sejm tomorrow. Nearly 400 people volunteered to participate. Mobilization on the part of populists, right-wings and supporters of the birth of children incapable to live “to baptize them” is huge, the proceeding will be attended by, among others, Robert Bąkiewicz's association, and by the reliable Ordo Iuris, who receives money from a known source. Here. you can read the list of speakers.
On the pages of the right-wing writings and portals you can read the reflections as it happened that the word abortion is no longer terrible. It is increasingly hard to blackmail women and the public with a communicative about "killing children", and the language imposed by the Church and the right no longer paralyzes the minds of politicians and journalists who ask about abortion in the hours of the top audience.
This debate will see why referendum It's not a good idea, it's a terrible idea. Mobilization and the large amount of money available to women to take distant the right to their bodies, ruthless, manipulative language, disinformation, stories about terrible mothers from whom the fetus must be protected – all this will be heard in the Sejm room. In the event of a referendum, we will gotta perceive to this for many months, and in public space, we will be attacked by images of jams, bloody remains and the crying of fetuses everywhere.
During the referendum campaign, we will be called killers and accused of hating our own children. We will be exposed to a language full of contempt and misogyny. Do either of us deserve this? We've been listening to this for way besides long. And it is known that the right is not about any fetal life, but about power, about subjection and embarrassment of women.
I would like the debate to be substantive, but so far there has been no specified place. The right has to offer a window of life from which the kid can go, for example, to Sister Bernadette, or a area to cry out if the kid is born without a head. It besides has relics – dried parts of the body of a individual who prove to be more crucial to the infirmary than a living, breathing, feeling patient whose infirmary allows to die of sepsis.
Public proceeding precedes the commission's work four proposals made at the Sejm concerning the right to abortion. 2 of them are the designs of the Left, 1 of the KOs and 1 of the 3rd Ways. The most urgent thing is to decriminize abortion. At the moment, a husband, brother, mother, or friend of a pregnant individual can go to prison for 3 years for helping to have an abortion. Abortion is simply a crime in Polish law, and rape is inactive a specified offense.
We showed on the streets, and then at the polling urns, we've had enough. We're waiting to repay the trust. Without us there will be no democracy.
We'll be in the Sejm tomorrow. Journalists, activists, NGOs. We will study on the debate for you, we will besides be your vote. Avaaz besides collects voices showing why abortion rights are needed. compose about your motivations – let us not let the environments that hatred women shout at us.
