Hopefully, this is true, but of course there is no guarantee. A media outlet close to the abortion-tourism initiative “My Voice, My Choice” reports having heard from sources within the Commission that the Commission’s response to the (not particularly successful) initiative will not be what the organizers and their financial backers had hoped for.
A visibly distressed Nika Kovač has published a message on Instagram, calling on her followers to undertake a last-ditch effort and write e-mails to Commissioners, urging them to support abortion tourism (much like our own campaign that asks them to not support it), warning with a tear-choked voice and dramatic tone that “women will die” if her initiative is not implemented. This is, of course, nonsense. Women die from abortions, not from not having abortion. Has Ms. Kovač never heard of “gendercide”?
But even stranger than these dramatic claims are the reports that reach us from Slovenia with regard to the pro-abortion initiative’s latest action.
According to these reports, Janez Janša, hero of the Slovenian independence struggle in 1990, and since then a fixture in domestic politics (several times prime minister, etc.).received a letter from Nike Kovač to his personal e-mail address. Not as a politician with connections and influence, but as someone who signed (or is supposed to have signed) a petition urging the European Commission to change its mind.
“Janez, thank you for signing. Together we can convince the Commission to reconsider,” activists from the Institute 8 March, or the My Voice My Choice initiative, wrote in their letter.
The little “problem” here is that Janez Janša did not sign their petition. “I just received this junk mail from the 8 March Institute at my e-mail address. I never signed this ‘initiative’. Obviously, Nika Kovač is illegally collecting the addresses of people who have nothing to do with her activism,” Janša wrote on X.
Even supposing his email address was not obtained illegally, it is likely that someone filled out the petition and entered Janša’s email address as identification. But this then calls into question all of the signatures collected, because if there is no security mechanism for authenticating the e-mail owner, then the e-mail address can have been used just by anyone in order to support anything, as a commenter under Janša’s X rightly pointed out.
The pro-abortion campaigners are clearly not very choosy with regards to the means to achieve their goal. But at least this explains how they are able to claim that they have collected 50.000 e-mail supporters in just one day.
The Commission will surely be impressed.
