March for Life? What the Fuck! ---- Anti Feminism sabotage! Demonstrate for bodily
self-determination! Block Christian Fundamentalist_innen! ---- For the September 20, 2014
the Federation Right to Life (BoL) mobilized again to a "March for Life" in Berlin. He
wants to demonstrate for a general prohibition of pregnancy terminations and labeled it as
"protection of life". As in previous years, we do not want to leave undisturbed spread
their anti-feminist positions the Abortion Gegner_innen! We will demonstrate for bodily
self-determination and then block the "March"! ---- The groups and organizations that
participate in this "march" consider every abortion as "prenatal infanticide" which belong
prohibited and punished. So you speak to all people who may become pregnant, accordingly
especially Frauen_Lesben_Trans * _Inter * (short: flti *), from the right to choose their
own lives and their bodies themselves. To embed this opinion in public, the
Abtreibungsgegner_innen spread untruths and lobbying. The Abortion Gegner_innen try not
only nationwide against the self-determination of flti * to mobilize. "March for life"
find for several years in numerous cities around the world instead.
At European level, this was visible in the last two years: The "One of us" initiative
(German: "One of us") collected nearly 1.9 million signatures to move the EU Commission to
a legislative initiative in the European Parliament submit to prohibit the funding of
pregnancy terminations. The Commission rejected the application fortunately. The German
collection for the signatures was the "Civilian Coalition e. V.," their spokeswoman
Beatrix von Storch 2013 ran in the front row at the "Marsh". You currently sitting for the
national conservative party "alternative for Germany" (AFD) in the EU Parliament and
denounced in the past, an alleged "power of the gay lobby" to. The choice of the AfD to
the EU Parliament is an example of the current European swing to the right, which is
expressed in an increased agitation of the right to maternity crashes.
Most of the abortion Gegner_innen are Christian Fundamentalist_innen. They fight for a
society that * hostility to the bourgeois nuclear family, bisexuality, trans, a strict
sexual morality, prohibition of homosexuality and "Destiny" - and authorities devotion is
based. The Antifeminist_innen claim they acted non-violently, but -. Example, in the USA
and in Great Britain - block abortion clinics Gegner_innen and threaten, injure both
necessary and ?rzt_innen and people who want an abortion. In the USA it was in this
context too bombings and assassinations on ?rzt_innen that perform abortions.
Also in Germany and Austria are flti *, visit abortion clinics, intimidated and harassed
in part by so-called "sidewalk counseling," defamed ?rzt_innen as "mass killer". Groups
and individuals who are committed to a liberal abortion law be insulted and threatened.
After the self-proclaimed Lebenssch?tzer_innen had found at a "clinic test" in Cologne,
that while not a single Catholic hospital prescribed the "morning after pill", but four
catches people had referred to other emergency surgeries, was issued on the part of the
diocese an omission statement. This led in December 2012 to the fact that two Catholic
hospitals refused to examine a person affected by a rape, as there is no "morning after
pill" could be prescribed. After a public outcry, the Cologne Cardinal Meisner was forced
to allow the clinics to be able to prescribe the "morning after pill". To this end, he
revised his stance and defined the drug from abortion to contraception in order. This
example illustrates the discretion of church officials * to facilitate the daily life of
flti, because if the political will exists or public pressure is large enough.
Christian Fundamentalist_innen can be sure, meanwhile, a growing social acceptance. The
number of Teilnehmer_innen of Berlin "march" is rising steadily in recent years. In 2008
it was less than 1000 Fundamentalist_innen to last year over 4,000 abortion Gegner_innen
involved. For this year, the Organisator_innen terminate almost 30 special buses (last
year 20 buses) to from all over Germany. Prominent Politiker_innen established parties
express openly their support of the objectives of the self-proclaimed Lebenssch?tzer_innen
to clearly without having to be afraid of criticism. Contributed Greetings has 2013
addition to the Chairman of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group, Volker Kauder also the
Federal Government Commissioner for Matters relating to Disabled people Hubert H?ppe.
Worldwide competitive abortion and other reproductive rights are affected by their
limitations especially flti *. As before, the world die every year tens of thousands flti
* does not properly carried out - because undocumented - abortions. In Ireland an absolute
abortion ban and so died in the fall of 2012, a woman of 31, after a university hospital
refused during pregnancy complication, make an abortion. In Spain, the tightening of the
abortion law is currently being discussed in the House of Representatives. That the
discussed draft law, in which a gestational abortion only in case of rape or health risk
to the pregnant person is possible, will be adopted this year despite violent protests
probably. In contrast, a referendum was rejected in Switzerland in February, the aim of
which was that pregnancy terminations are no longer covered by health insurance.
Otherwise than is often assumed, an abortion 218 Penal Code continues to apply in Germany
according to ? as a crime that remains unpunished only under certain conditions. Who wants
an abortion, must be forcibly seek advice from nationally recognized agencies and then
wait three days before the procedure is performed. This scheme represents a
state-institutionalized disenfranchisement of flti * that should not decide about their
bodies and their lives planning itself. The counseling and abortion must be done in the
first twelve weeks of pregnancy - unless it is determined a "danger to the mental and
physical health" of the pregnant person.
On the other hand, are "damage" of the fetus, which are found in prenatal examinations,
often the real reason for an abortion after the twelfth week. flti * are increasingly
quality "drawn for the" health "and" their offspring to account and forced to such
investigations. That they have a right not to know, is usually not mentioned. A gene test
with the blood of pregnant women to trisomy 21 ("Down syndrome") was approved last year in
the German market. The pressure on pregnant women for selection is part of the
bourgeois-capitalist society, which is maintained with racist, ableistischen (Disabled
enemy) and sexist norms.
We, however, aspire to a society where respect for neither religious moral values, social
norms or public access over the life and body of people. flti * will have to take due to
an abortion neither health nor legal or economic disadvantages. The decision for or
against pregnancy should be possible without intervention or teachings of the state
without fear of moral condemnation. To establish the framework for a far-reaching
self-determination over their own bodies, abortion must be legalized. Moreover, access to
preventive methods such as the "morning after pill" must be enabled. This is in Germany
(as in almost all other European countries), contrary to the recommendations of the WHO
still not over the counter, ie without Bittsteller_innentum. We want a society in which a
"disability" is not a problem or deficiency. No one should be "obliged" feel abort because
of a disability subsequent child probably appear.
We call on you to participate in our feminist demonstration and to block the "march" of
Fundamentalist_innen and demand:
Deletion of ? 218 of the Penal Code
Freedom of choice for or against an abortion without being patronizing
Free and (-counter) free access to all contraceptives (also for "morning after pill") for
all people, regardless of immigration status or membership in a health insurance
Recognition of sexual, physical and sexual self-determination
