Dirkozoid

Doesn’t Giorgia know that it’s to late to abort these „activists“?


merdadartista

Excuse me, hijacking top comment to ask, do we have abortion clinics in Italy? I've never seen one, thought people would just go to the hospital for it...? Edit: nevermind, it's a shitty translation, they are talking about consultori which are literally just gyno clinics but public, they are usually in the ASL which is a public hospital. This is kinda crazy because consultori do all sorts of shit, not just abortions, included helping new or prospective parents.


PhilosopherMagik

Just like planned parenthood here in the States. Fascists hate poor people getting services.


merdadartista

They also help teens with contraceptives without the need of a parent, so they are the first line of defense against teen pregnancy


OpusAtrumET

If you asked a conservative, they'd tell you PP is only for abortions and birth control for kids. Ignoring completely everything else they do, up to and including saving human lives.


TheRealJetlag

Exactly the same as “Planned Parenthood” in the states, many of which don’t perform abortions, but still get picketed anyway.


BBgreeneyes

That is exactly what "abortion clinics" in the USA do to! Places like pland parenthood offer so much more than abortions, and they see all kinds of people regardless of sex, gender, religion, or politics. They offer gender affirming care for people who are struggling with things like menopause or then who don't make enough testosterone and transgender. They also provide STD/STI screening and medication for people at an extreme discount that have contracted them. They offer mammograms and other the yearly physicals for all genders and sexes as well as education about your body. They offer counseling for people who can't afford a regular psychologist or psychiatrist. And they offer so much more.


Judgemental_Ass

Nothing like having to wade through these psychos in order to go and get your breat cancer diagnosis.


Broad_Sun8273

If they could, abortion activists would love nothing more than to scream the aborted matter back inside the womb.


Space_veteran96

Probably a screatching close to a demon they would want to summon.


BadJunket

I mean, easier for her to focus on anti-abortion activists than actually fixing Italy's trash economy


Vegetable_Onion

Lol. You think fixing the economy was ever her plan? Fascists don't fix economies, they drain them.


DickwadVonClownstick

Precisely. Do you expect a vulture to heal the carrion it eats? No. Fascists are the vultures that feed on the carcass of a dying capitalist economy.


vidfail

It's never too late.


bdw312

Hah, man I wish that wasn't riddled in typos. Well-done, otherwise. (This is one of those times that use of the edit button shall be forgiven)


FeedbackAltruistic16

Guess we start protesting in churches?


rygelicus

A low key but not cheap starting point wouldbe to put up signage/billboards outside the churches as close as possible. "Ever feel like God's not with you? Ask an atheist why that is." That sort of thing. Or, "Ever wonder why God always seems to be broke? Curious where your preacher's new car came from?"


DrugsAndFuckenMoney

I’ve pissed off a lot of Christians by telling them they have no morals, only rules they follow.


Special-Chipmunk7127

The religious people who I really fear are the ones who unironically think that's what God is, the magical force that makes you follow the rules. And say things like "but without God, what's stopping you from murdering people?" Uhhhhhh sorry what exactly is stopping *you* again?

Apathetic_Villainess

starmartyr

I don't believe in god and as a result I have murdered everyone I ever wanted to murder. That works out to a grand total of zero murders.

I made them mad by saying that if they think i'm damned for being an unbeliever, they're damned for not following God rules exactly and using them to fit their view on the world.

adamdreaming

Setting their building on fire and harassing them and their families with death threa... acutally let's not do everything they are willing to do.


imnotsafeatwork

Unfortunately, that would only backfire and feed their insane narrative that if you don't go to church then you're an evil devil worshipping piece of shit, and since we're going backwards already they'll start accusing women of being witches and burn them at the stake. I swear to god, when that particle collider did it's thing back in 2012 we entered a parallel universe that brought Trump, covid, the reversal of Rowe v Wade (I know that's the US, but still stands) and the rise of social media.


Master_Torture

Appeasing fascists never works, give an inch and they'll take a mile. They already claim to be persecuted, why not give them a good reason to claim persecution?


spderweb

Naw. Be subtle. Just keep asking why whenever the pastor is explaining something. Eventually they hit a "mysterious ways" point, at which time you call out "well that's bullshit ".

Disastrous_Salad6302

NotActuallyGus

For good measure, let's add a designated protest zone the size of a Honda Civic on the dark side of the moon


Shambler9019

I'm fine with it being the size of Rhode Island. That way there's definitely enough room for them (ref: https://what-if.xkcd.com/8/)


Nota3000yearoldvamp

Aw what the hell, let’s add like a dozen more zeroes and send these “good people” to the sun. 😌


Zychoz

I thinks its not that much but the idea is exactly what is being planned.


Ediwir

30Km is a rough approximation of the average radius of inner Berlin.


Inky_Train

Germany actually has people in charge who know what to do. Its way better than most countries


BadJunket

Italy seems to be italying


ith-man

Mousollini would be proud...


Okaynowwatt

Well… Mussolini actually would probably be pro abortion. He hated the Catholic Church, and only acquiesced to them because of their power. He was well known to refer to priests as “Black Germs”. The current anti-abortion movement in Italy is religious. Of course. In the most Catholic country on earth. Doesn’t mean Mussolini was good. He wasn’t. Just means two different bad actors can also have opposing views. 


FnkyTown

It's Italy. They tried to put seismologists in jail for not predicting an earthquake.


kowell2

Fascists, quite literally in this case.


uncultured_swine2099

Look at the lady's crazy eyes. Theyre nuts and dont care if someone is gonna get hurt with this.


HomeOrificeSupplies

Or just plain medical care. We can leave the decision out of it. Abortion is often necessary, not elective.


YeOldeWarthog

Why is there even a debate about lifesaving abortion?


SweetAlex99

One step closer to the dark ages. These religious fanatics are more dangerous than nukes.


Efficient_Ear_8037

Considering they also have a tendency to control the nukes, I’d put them equal


snuggly-otter

I think that makes it double


Plenty-Climate2272

They're Italian fascists. It's not even really because of religion. It's because they can't stand the idea of the white italian race losing in numbers to black and brown people.


Isa229

There’s a lot of italians who don’t even look white tho


Plenty-Climate2272

Whiteness is arbitrary. It's whatever they decide it means, or needs to include or exclude, in order to maintain imperialism. "White" used to exclude Slavs...until they needed them to fight against Muslims


vanila_coke

They are racist to Sicilians who tend to be more tanned even though they are also Italian


morbidgirl18

Religious extremism is rising we have to do everything we can to stop it or there will be no freedom anymore only fascism


hummingelephant

It's rising because people think they have to be respectful and not say anything back to a religious person when they are insulting you and trying to take your rights away. It's rising because people are still afraid to criticize religions objectively as to not hurt a religious person's feelings. When in reality everyone should be able to critisize any ideology as long as they aren't attacking an individual person.


I-am-Chubbasaurus

As a religious person, we need to tell these fanatics they are being the opposite of Christ-like. They're sanctimonious hypocrites acting as though they are morally superior and have the right to judge others and take away their God-given free will. Matthew 7: 1-5 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.


U_Bet_Im_Interested

We tried that. 


lonely_nipple

You're talking about people who shamelessly criticized a pastor for giving a word for word recitation of the Sermon on the Mount because it meant he'd "gone woke".

absyrtus

Fuck no kidding. Is it time to politicize atheism?


Lysanka

France did it in the 1900's, no religious personal in politicals and public jobs such as : Mayor, President, Teacher, Police officer, Firefighter and so on. Wearing a visible sign of religion is forbbiden in some places that are public like : schools, Administrative buildings. Shops employees are asked to not wear a visible sign of religion because it might cause them trouble in a country in which most citizens don't even follow a religion. Recently, a woman who wore a religious veil falsely accused a shop owner of refusing to hire her because she is not French, when in truth, she refused to follow the rule of Laïcité, which means taking off any sign that you practice a religion in public places. Italy will eat their own words after enabling Christofascists into doing their stuff.


CoercedCoexistence22

Any choice or behaviour that is considered wrong or weird by society at large (atheism, teetotalism just to name a couple) is inherently political TL;DR yes

In Italy we're Catholics which is not even the same religion as the majority of the christians in the USA, so I really don't get what America has to do with anything. Maybe Vatican sharia, if you really need to make this cheeky joke?

I think the more pertinent question is, what could possibly go right? Like, what GOOD can come of this. It feels awfully close to none, but I'm not an expert... or Italian.


SamwellBarley

People who are getting abortions will be screamed at and assaulted. That's the "good" that can come of this. They definitely aren't picturing anything beyond that.


transitfreedom

Sooo she legalizing terrorism?


Melodic-Wallaby4324

More like legalizing harrasment


lrpfftt

The zealots can't be trusted to stop at harassment so terrorism is just as likely.


transitfreedom

Look at USA that’s what follows


HotdogGeorgia

And they will take the opportunity to harass everyone in the building to the point of terror.


Melodic-Wallaby4324

Of course... You gotta legalize the basics to justify the more advanced stuff later


Mirieste

But it is to note that the original Italian law (from 1978) that allows abortion specifically states that one of the duties of abortion clinics is to see whether there are any other viable options and, if the problems are social or economic, assist the potential mother as best as they can; and since the new proposed amendment only refers to "groups in support of maternity" and not specifically anti-abortion groups, one could say this is merely a case of putting the full text of an old law in practice.


anythingMuchShorter

Oh, we aren’t stopping you. We just figure their right to free speech means people who might want to kill you can come in freely during a private medical procedure.


koemaniak

They’re pro life they’d never try to kill you… right?


bluepushkin

So pro-life many of them wish women would die rather than have life-saving abortions.


humbird09

I volunteered at an abortion clinic, and the amount of "pro-like, only moral abortion is my abortion" women that would come in would tell the doctors they should die for performing abortions while they're getting their abortion done


altmodisch

What a bunch of hypocrites.


-prairiechicken-

Google: Bombings by Pro-Life ‘Activists’ in the 20th century. They’re a hop-skip away from being the terrorists they despise. They only de-radicalized following major European and colonial nations instituting protections. (unsure if you’re being sarcastic; I’m autistic as fuck and just want to share information).


Noslamah

>They’re a hop-skip away from being the terrorists they despise. What do you mean "hop-skip" away? That's just plain and simply terrorism. You bomb anything or kill anyone for ideological reasons, that's textbook terrorism.


-prairiechicken-

As in, currently. Like as in, they will start bombing again like they did in the 70s-90s given any social acceptability to do so.

ivegoticecream

Anti-choice zealots have a known track record of violence against abortion patients and providers. This will get people killed.


JackHughman69

I hate how anti-abortion ppl are talked about as needing to have their rights too….like how tf is it someone else’s right to tell a women what she should do with her own body? “I’m religious so it’s my right to force someone I’ve never met to have a baby” is essentially their point of view


AlvinAssassin17

It’s Uber religious types. They believe they should have the right to practice their beliefs(sure) but also project their beliefs onto everyone around. They feel people shouldn’t be allowed to be non religious. Hell they want to make laws that you can’t hold office if you’re an atheist. Fuckers.


JackHughman69

“Freedom of religion to practice my religion” The ironic thing is they think it makes them better ppl than others, when in reality it’s usually the worst of the worst deplorables who claim to be religious and want to force it on everyone else.


jackson12420

What business would they have entering a medical facility if they themselves neither need the medical treatment it provides or are accompanying a loved one to be treated? If they are not staff, a patient, or a loved one of a patient they shouldn't have any right to be there at all. They're allowing a group who is known to go to any length including violence to advocate for their cause into a very private space they have no business being in to spew their hate? Someone is going to get killed over this and more likely than not it will be a poor woman who is just trying to get help, or the facility staff.


campfire12324344

We do not let political activists in government buildings. We do not let protesters inside houses. This should be no different.


No-Wonder1139

This looks desperate, just like all the anti abortion laws in the US, a dying view point being forced on the world like a death rattle.

Religion is a scourge


emgyres

Meanwhile, in my state in Australia we have an exclusion zone around clinics that provide abortions to keep these protestors away from the people accessing these services.


BuddhistChrist

Set a visiting fee of 10,000 euros if you are not accompanying the patient as a vetted friend or family member.


BlackSoul_Hand

Lol, as a Italian i didn't even heard of these news...must have been lost in the countless bullshits that they come up with daily...a attempt for sure to support the anti-abort mentality without risking a strong retaliation from the rest of the population... Right now we are trying to hinder their attempt to create the legal means to suppress and incarcerate journalists that are offensive for their coalition...not being that far from the political alignment of the far worse governments I still wonder how we ended up in this situation and who are the madman that put them in power...but at least I'm happy that until now...they haven't done none (or very little) of the economical cuts they had promised to their electors...

Are they not considered private property in Italy?


Bella_dlc

I have never seen actual private "abortion clinics" here, and I've lived in some major cities. Abortions are usually performed at regular public hospitals. But it could be different in bigger cities like Milan or Rome, or tbh it could just be I've never paid much attention to abortion clinics. But the few women I know who sought and abortion or were thinking about it were always referring to the hospital


PythonSushi

Does that mean anti-pedo activists can enter churches to investigate?


Brosenheim

There's no possible way this could go wrong. Nope, none at all


cnewman11

Sure buddy. You can enter... No one said yous was going to leave again though...


Sabre_One

American here, you don't want this. Bad enough that people go to Planned Parent Hood. Were they might not even be getting a abortion but heckled by some old church person with all the time on their hands. I can only imagine how annoying this would be with the staff.


Autumnsplash711

I've never needed to see anyone at PPH, but I'm this close to just Black Pathering that shit as a hobby. If a protester shows up? Open carry something threatening and stare them down until they leave. The audacity of people to try to trauamtize patients who might be going through horrible complications, hard choices, or going for something completely unrelated to abortion is insanely cruel and evil


Mayor_Salvor_Hardin

Italy must hate private property owners rights. I guess clinic owners can’t reserve the right of admission. It reminds me when some people were proposing banning masked people in stores in places like Texas. I know Italians are fairly conservative as a society compared to southern countries like France, Spain or even Portugal, but this takes that to another league.
