The Holy Father’s annual address at the New Year’s reception for representatives of the diplomatic corps is an important opportunity each year to communicate to the world how the Catholic Church views the political situation.

This year’s address, the first by the new Pope in a pontificate that could last for many years, is particularly significant. Among other things, the pontiff expresses deep concern over the European pro-abortion citizens’ initiative “My Voice, My Choice”, which, despite having received far less support from “ordinary” citizens than we did with our pro-life initiative in 2014, is being energetically promoted by the left to extreme-left political spectrum in the EP and within the European Commission, while meeting only half-hearted (if any) resistance from centrist or allegedly “Christian Democrat” politicians.

The hearing of the organizers of the abortion initiative “My Voice, My Choice” was carefully choreographed by the relevant committee chairpersons, all of whom belong to the left-wing and extreme left-wing political spectrum, so that dissenting voices would get as little airtime as possible. The organizers of the initiative were given ample speaking time (which is justified in itself), but the speaking time allocated to parliamentarians was also distributed extremely unevenly so that the initiators of the initiative and Commissioner Hadja Lahbib, who was extremely uncritical of them, would not be confronted with critical questions.

Yesterday, during the EP plenary week in Strasbourg, the human rights group European Centre for Law and Justice, whose director, Grégor Puppinck, also served as spokesperson for the ONE OF US organising committee back in 2014, held a conference to unmask the “Legal, Moral and Financial Fraud” that is the ECI “My Voice, my Choice”, revealing to the members of parliament the massive funding network of the abortion lobby by major globalist foundations, such as the Open Society, the Gates, Ford, and Rockefeller foundations, and Planned Parenthood International. This network receives billions of dollars, including from the European Union and the United Nations.

Tomorrow, the European Parliament will vote on the European Citizens’ Initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice’, which aims to use EU citizens’ tax money to fund ‘safe and accessible abortions’ for women with unwanted pregnancies in countries where prenatal infanticide is either prohibited or restricted.

Criticism of the initiative comes shortly before the vote from the Catholic EU Bishops’ Commission Comece. Referring to the teachings of the Catholic Church, a statement released on Tuesday evening states that ‘human life must be respected and protected from the moment of conception.’

“Today I took part in the Committee on Women’s Rights where, amid applause from the Left, a motion on “My Voice My Choice” was voted. This initiative effectively aims to impose abortion throughout the European Union, even though the matter is and must remain the exclusive competence of the Member States.”

At the age of 27, Charlène became pregnant unintentionally. Her partner at the time panicked and pressured her to have an abortion. She wanted to keep the child, but she found no support at the Planned Parenthood counselling centre she turned to: they just wanted to abort her child. When she hesitated, she was told that she should ‘not talk about a baby,’ that it was just ‘a cluster of cells.’ Charlène resisted the pressure for a long time, refusing to take the preparatory medication. In the end, she gave in. Her boyfriend forced the abortion pill into her mouth Just weeks later, she broke up with her partner, fell into a deep depression and struggled to get her life back on track. Today, Charlène has a family again. But she cannot forget what she went through. ‘You can only learn to live with it,’ says the young woman. Her appeal to European politicians: ‘Protect women’s rights against pressure and coercion! Create real alternatives!’

Charlène was one of five women telling their stories in the European Parliament yesterday. Each story was different, but what they all had in common is that the women were left alone at one of the most crucial moments of their lives.

Abortion activists have collected 1.2 million signatures for a European Citizens’ Initiative. In an interview with the German newspaper ‘Tagespost’, Cornelia Kaminski of Aktion Lebensrecht für Alle (ALfA) sharply criticises its goals and financing.

The European Parliament has passed a Resolution calling for a ‘right to abortion’ to be included in the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights. The Resolution was supported primarily by representatives of the left-wing and far-left factions, but also by the liberals.

From a moral point of view, the declaration of intent to exclude an entire category of human beings, namely unborn children, from the protection of human rights, whilst guaranteeing another category of human beings a ‘right’ to kill them with impunity, is an act of unparalleled wickedness and a sad sign of intellectual and moral decline, spearheaded by those politicians who introduce or approve such motions.

However, the question of the legal implications of such an addition to the Charter of Fundamental Rights is much more interesting.
