So at ANSA Simone Pillon who is participating in the event. “Today in 2024 there are all the tools to prevent unwanted pregnancies and to help mothers in difficulty to have their baby. Let’s apply these tools and save human lives. Human life always counts – he continues – I don’t know if there are any political conditions to repeal today law 194, but it will certainly be cancelled. What we are building is a great return of people who shout yes to life and who build the social and political conditions so that this law is finally cancelled.”
“I came because if “We choose life”, I am for life. I had neither a summons nor a hesitation. When I was in Rome in similar situations I participated because I share the defense of the family, of parenting, of children. I it seems that the objectives are to be shared by everyone.” Thus to ANSA the president of the senators of Forza Italia, Maurizio Gasparri, during the demonstration in Rome “Let’s choose life”.
