Dear Veltroni and Bertinotti, enough
appeal Micromega ***
clerical
The offensive against women has reached intolerable levels. But equally intolerable is the lack of reaction of the political spectrum left of center, which is too often even condescension. With the obscene proposal for a moratorium of abortion, which treats women as an assassin and Executioner, and the recent order to revive the fetuses ultraprematuri even against the wishes of the mother, the bodies of women are back to being 'things', land struggle for religious fanaticism, objects on which to exercise power. On November 24 100 thousand women - completely self-organized - have filled the streets of Rome to denounce violence against women in a patriarchal culture dies hard. These clerical and bigoted attacks are the latest and most insidious forms of the same violence, masked behind the hypocritical arrogance of "defending life." So do not just, dear leaders of the center, simply say that the Act 194 do not touch: in fact it is already challenged. We expect from you a clear and unequivocal stance, condemning in no uncertain terms any attempt to endanger women's self-determination, hard won. We demand therefore that your programs (also to be present) are explicit: if a revision is needed is to remove the 194 conscientious objection, which increasingly prevent the facts to exercise our right, to be made immediately available the abortion pill, is made quick and easy access to morning-after pill, along with series of campaigns contraception since middle school, it introduced the teaching of sex education from elementary to be carried out cultural programs and social support to immigrant women and strengthen the rules and services for the protection of motherhood. These are our non-negotiable values, on which we are no longer willing to compromise.
