The women of the Veronese PD against the pro-lifers in the counseling centers. Yesterday, 23 April, the Senate approved the Pnrr decree in which a rule on public consultancies was inserted. The amendment allows the Regions to open the doors of the clinics to associations with qualified experience in supporting maternity “without new or greater burdens on public finances”. And, as reported by Today, many believe that the law is a prelude to the entry of pro-life activists into the places where the major abortion certifications are carried out. A dynamic that could jeopardize a right that is not always easy to exercise.
The approval sparked a protest from the opposition in the Senate and also in Verona the Conference of Democratic Women made itself heard with its spokesperson Sabrina Ugolini and the city secretary of the PD Alessia Rotta. «Europe has already replied that this operation is not eligible with the Pnrr funds – they specified – And no one escapes the fact that the clinics issue a high number of certificates for the voluntary termination of pregnancy, in the face of which one cannot can exercise conscientious objection. But the real goal is to use public money to position pro-lifers in counseling centers. And this is contrary to the spirit of Law 194 which is based on women’s awareness, not on indoctrination. Instead of putting women in the material conditions to be able to make choices, Italy is still stuck in ideological disputes over women’s bodies. It’s time to change the narrative on pregnancy termination, once and for all stopping blaming choices.”
