Three years is what a woman faces in jail under present law in Portugal
for obtaining an abortion.
40,000 Portuguese women travel to obtain abortions p/a.
This is Mr Socrate's Mandate to alleiviate the suffering of women and
provide a safe and legal place for termination of a pregnancy- he should
really talk to the rights groups who are dealing with the issues of
women who lack funds to travel and the groups who support these
women- consultation on the issues would help formulate a legislation
which takes cognizance of all the factors which has lead to a situation
of criminalisation of women for obtaining abortion.
it is a sad day when a country decides to attack the most vulnerable members of its society, none can be more vulnerable than the unborn (over 46 million are aborted every year- even baby whales have it easier). just another example of a socialist state imposing its own morality on the voiceless. abortion is not a quick fix solution, there will be no reduction in the amount of women who will face crisis pregnancies- only more abortions. as usual it will be the poorest who will have to "choose" abortion- a type of genocide of the undesirables. during the so-called democratic process (whereby the govt. chose to ignore their own referendum for the sake of convenience, it would not have mattered if 2% of the electorate voted) the govt made reference to irelands "draconian" trackr record on abortion. it should be pointed out that ireland is consistently ranked within the top 5 countries in the world regards maternal healthcare and mortality rates by the WHO. the usual fallacy of medical abortions was thrown around by the socialists- completely contrary to empirical evidence from this country. ah well, the truth should not got in the way of socialist absolutism-only the voiceless will suffer anyway and they would only have created a further economic worry ...what price life?
