European liberals and feminists howled with rage when a group of pro-life conservatives displayed a simple, gentle, banner advocatig life.
The banner showed an unborn baby and the slogan “It’s a life, not a choice.”
During the Plenary Session of the Parliament on Thursday in Strasbourg, two MEPs raised the issue of a pro-life banner erected by members of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group (ECR).
French parliamentarian from The Left in the European Parliament group, Manon Aubry, gave a hysterical speech, calling the killing of the unborn in the womb a “right” that the “far right” wants to take away from women.
”This morning, the ECR group, only men, of course, showed the banner with a fetus and an anti-abortion slogan on it,” Aubry said.
“ The far right shows again today their true face. You want to return to a society in which women cannot decide on their bodies. It’s a clear attack against abortion rights.”
“Whether you like it or not, our Parliament, the majority of this Parliament has [voted in favor of the] ‘My Voice, My Choice’ initiative less than two months ago. Because in countries where abortion is banned, like in Poland, women still die. Because our mothers, our grandmothers have been fighting for this right,” she shouted.
“So, Madam President, this is not acceptable. And the right to abortion is not just a choice, it’s a right and we’ll never leave the far right to take it away from us,” she concluded.
