The culture of death seems to permeate everything that some political groups do in the European Parliament, as was seen this week.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on military and financial aid to Ukraine<\/a>, calling on EU countries to lift current restrictions preventing Ukraine from using Western weapons systems against legitimate military targets in Russia. The resolution was adopted by 425 votes in favour, 131 against and 63 abstentions.<\/strong><\/p>\n The text of the resolution can be read here (PDF)<\/a>. The surprise comes when reading that point 15 of the resolution includes the promotion of abortion<\/strong>, using as an excuse Ukrainian women who have been victims of rape. Let us remember that in a pregnancy due to rape there are two victims: the raped woman and the baby<\/strong>. Thus, this text intends that in a rape one of the victims be punished. Significantly, the text does not ask for the death penalty for rapists, but for one of the victims<\/strong>, victims who are Ukrainian babies, since they inherit the nationality of their mothers.<\/p>\n It should be noted that this resolution<\/a> replaces the texts presented by five political groups: The Greens<\/a>, the socialists<\/a>, Renew<\/a>, the European People's Party<\/a> and the conservatives of the ECR<\/a>. Looking at the texts, one can observe a curious detail: the mention of abortion only appeared in the text of the Greens, a group that has been gathering to far-left parties<\/strong> such as the BNG, ERC and Catalunya en Com\u00fa, some of which hold pro-Russian positions.<\/p>\n
