The hypocrisy surrounding ‘unsafe abortion’

In its statement on the ‘My Voice, My Choice’ abortion initiative, the European Commission argues that ‘unsafe abortions’ pose a danger to women, which must be countered by misappropriating funds from the European Social Fund to finance abortions. What a hypocritical argument! The Commission uncritically makes its own the propaganda rhetoric of the abortion industry, which immediately collapses like a house of cards when seriously examined. Only fools fall for this lie – and those who, because they have a political or commercial interest in the legalisation of abortion, just pretend to believe it.

Children as commodities? Conference calls for global ban on surrogacy

Experts from the fields of medicine, law, ethics, politics and media met in Berlin on 6 March, shortly before International Women’s Day, to raise public awareness of a global billion-pound business: the business of female fertility and children as products.

“International Women’s Day”: ideological feminism is not interested in the well-being of women

On 8 March, the media and politicians bombard us with statements about ‘International Women’s Day’, a secular holiday that was first celebrated in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and now, a hundred years later, suddenly seems to play a major role in the EU’s official calendar of celebrations. Is this a sign of a certain kindred spirit?

Ideological feminism is perpetuated and institutionalised by these celebrations, just as it is by the appointment of (almost always female) ‘equality ministers’ in almost all governments, or a dedicated ‘equality commissioner’ in the European Union.

If abortion is “healthcare”, then everything can be everything.

In its reply to the ECI “My Voice, My Choice”, the European Commission has spent a considerable amount of paper and ink in order to demonstrate that abortion is “healthcare”, and that the European Social Fund (ESF+) can be used to fund abortions. But while that reasoning is lengthy, it mainly proves things that do not need to be proven, while it fails to adduce convincing arguments where they would have been necessary. Very conspicuously, while abundantly citing from documents that have little relevance to the matter, the Commission avoids citing the only extant legal definition of “healthcare” within the EU legal order, one that makes a clear link between “healthcare” and the purpose and intention of restoring someones health. This omission is probably not a mere oversight or coincidence, but deliberate: whatever is not supportive of the Commission’s point of view is simply left out, treated as if it didn’t exist.

But if abortion is not “healthcare”, then the use of ESF+ money to finance abortion is clearly illegal – with all the implications and consequences that this may lead to.

The European Commission’s funding for the abortion lobby: Un-levelling the playing field

The EU likes to see itself as a benefactor of so-called ‘civil society’. The CERV programme in particular is intended to promote civil society engagement and strengthen democracy. In reality, however, the exact opposite is happening: the one-sided promotion of supposed non-governmental organisations based on clearly ideological criteria distorts democratic competition, and the organisations receiving funding become an extension of the European Commission, albeit without transparency or political accountability.

In this way, the Commission is systematically and deliberately creating an uneven playing field, in which those not agreeing to the Commission’s understanding of “our common values” (e.g., abortion, euthanasia, re-definition of marriage and family, etc.) must fight uphill battles.
