In France Now, If You Run a Pro-Life Website You'll be Sentenced to Two-Years in PRISON!Any person or group aiming to call public attention to the dangers and risks of abortion will be potentially at risk of prosecution.
The law specifically targets "electronic" and "online" means of spreading information with the intention of dissuading women from ending their pregnancy, but its wording is not restrictive. By and large, any person or group aiming to call public attention to the dangers and risks of abortion will be potentially at risk of prosecution. Thursday's vote was the final stage of a lawmaking process that saw various versions of the text come alternately before the Assembly and the Senate. The upper house repeatedly tried to impose less severe wording without trying to scrap the law entirely. In the absence of an agreement between the two governing bodies, the National Assembly has the last word and so it achieved its aim of virtually outlawing pro-life speech. The law was adopted by a show of hands—an indication that few lawmakers were present in the Chamber—during which all left-wing representatives present as well as a majority of the centrists voted for the measure. It is the latest in a series of pro-abortion laws that have made "voluntary interruption of pregnancy," as the French euphemism goes, a purely elective and 100 percent publicly-funded "fundamental right" since socialist François Hollande came into power five years ago. The criminalization of negative information on abortion is the result of a process that began when members of Hollande's socialist government realized that Google searches were linking women to pro-life groups. These sites explain the risks and realities of the procedure and where to find assistance to help women keep their baby. The Ministry of Health responded by putting up a government information site on abortion that is limited to providing details about access to the procedure. It also characterizes as "misconceptions' the allegations that abortion can have negative side effects and cause health problems or psychological consequences. Included is a page on "misinformation about voluntary interruption of pregnancy" that claims there are pro-life sites masquerading as information sites. Women are urged to link to Planned Parenthood or sites that list abortion center addresses. There is no information on help and public subsidies for expectant mothers. Click here to continue reading.
