The fight for the absolute right to abortion is not just a fight to be waged in
the countries of the South. Here too in the West, this right, not fully acquiredin several countries, is regularly questioned. Reactionaries of all kinds can'tstand that we can freely enjoy our bodies. Still active, the anti-abortionistsare present in the street and on the Web. ---- Christian fundamentalists imposeabortion as a moral problem and base their doctrine on a double argument: theprotection of all life from its embryonic beginning to its end, and submission tothe laws of nature as an expression of the will. Divine. ---- They start from ascientifically based fact: there are living cells, living organisms, but then, byan intellectual pirouette, this cluster of cells becomes a human person with asoul but without any freedom of choice (the soul belongs to God). In the name ofrespect for " life ", they convey a model of society where the person decidesnothing, woman-receptacle, man " head of the family ", child " gift of god ".Outside the family there is no salvation, no place for other ways of life.Anti-abortion groups call themselves pro-life. It's true that it goes better than"crazy god", "anti-freedom" or "hatred of women".Anti-abortion groups call themselves pro-life. It's true that it goes better than"mad about god" or "anti-freedom" or "hatred of women". Moreover, it impliesdefining their adversaries, defenders of the freedom of choice, of one'ssexuality and of one's procreation, as pro-dead. Their love of life is first ofall the hatred of women, it is also the hatred of pleasure. They and they fightsex education and birth control that lead to free sexuality, free from theconstraint of reproduction as well as the choice of one's sexual orientation." Pro-life ", especially anti-freedomWe know the terrible reactions that follow one another in front of and inabortion centers, brandishing crucifixes, insulting patients and brutalizingnurses. The impact of more discreet and underground activities is less measured.Taking advantage of women's need for information and the mandatory pre-abortioninterview provided for by the Veil law, opponents of abortion have created a slewof associations to " help " women. And under this pretext, they and they onlyseek to dissuade " future mothers " from having an abortion : guilt, productionof misleading figures on the dangers of abortion, proposal to abandon the child "at least he will live " , etc. The doctors won over to this cause act as toutsfor these associations, some of whose sites are on the front line on the web.Some of these associations are subsidized by the public authorities, not so muchbecause the latter would be unaware of their objective, but because theanti-abortion groups also have many contacts within state and supranationalinstitutions, in the European Union and abroad. the UN.Without proposing a law re-criminalizing abortion, these abolitionists persist increating laws and amendments that nibble this right from all sides: recognitionof the fetus as a person, reduction of subsidies for planning and creditsallocated to hospitals in general and to the centers for contraception andvoluntary termination of pregnancy (CIVG) in particular... While there would beso much to gain still in the field of the free choice of our sexualities andprocreation, we are reduced to defending the crumbs of a right that we thoughtwas acquired and about which we too quickly lacked vigilance.Well-established groups in official bodiesThe logical consequence of an ideology that gives women the role of reproductiveis the imposition of a single and unique sexuality: between a man and a woman.This heteronormality carries with it the hatred of those who do not fit into thenorm: homophobia, lesbophobia, bi or transphobia.UCL Anti-Patriarchy CommissionTHE ANTI-ABORTION NEBULUS 2.0We can mention all the conspirators, covidosceptics and anti-abortion activistswho are on a common crusade on the Net, and who were the subject of an article inthe newspaper Liberation on July 7, 2022 : " On YouTube, Twitter or Facebook,influencers from far-right, conspiratorial or covidosceptic movements aredemonstrating intensive propaganda against abortion. Significant support foranti-abortion associations ".We can name among these " influencers ", Thierry Casanovas, sectarian guru closeto Equality and Reconciliation, the lawyer and reactionary Christian Fabrice DiVizio or the geneticist Alexandra Henrion-Caude.Some publicize the speech of Louis Fouché, anesthetist-resuscitator of the RéinfoCovid association, and speak to communities whose numbers have exploded with theCovid pandemic, and whose members end up absorbing anti-abortion speeches to mixthem with their conspiratorial obsessions. These characters affect Internet userswho are sometimes distant from traditional anti-abortion channels.The Alliance Vita association, the Jérôme-Lejeune foundation, SOS tout-petits orthe March for Life are certainly active online, but their audience remains ratherlimited. Liberation was able to confirm that the sites Moncorpsmonchoix (using aslogan defending the right to abortion) or Parlerdemonivg.com appear to be linkedto the entrepreneur Emile Duport, very active in reactionary Catholic circles.If these misinformation platforms remain very little consulted, others are muchmore successful, such as the Facebook page " ABORTION : you hesitate ? Come talkabout it !» has more than 100,000 « likes ». Backed by the site, run by Catholicactivists, it refers to a toll-free number which, according to numeroustestimonies, tries to dissuade women callers from having an abortion.https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?Droit-a-l-avortement-Retour-morbide-des-pro-vie_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
