Shocking New Law Allows Rapists To Sue Victims Who Want An Abortion

A rapist will soon be able to sue his victim if she wants an abortion after a new law was passed in America! Dayum!!

The shocking act could come into effect as early as this spring and will allow members of the rape victim’s own family to stop a termination by suing the abortion provider.

The Arkansas Act 45, which has been passed in the southern US state of the same name, does not include an exception clause for rape by a spouse or incest, meaning the foetus’s father could sue an abortion clinic, even if they have raped the woman.

Pro-choice supporters reacted with shock and disgust to the news.

Karen Musick, co-founder of Arkansas’s Abortion Support Network, told the Daily Beast: “There is zero part of me that understands why a rapist or someone who got someone pregnant against their will, maybe incest, would have any right in that decision.

Poland women go on strike to protest against law to ban abortion

Thousands of women across Poland are expected to go on strike in both their working and domestic lives to protest against a proposed new law that will effectively ban abortions.

Female workers across the country are planning to stage the walk-out tomorrow in a bid to bring the economy to a standstill and highlight their disgust at the proposed abortion bill.

They plan to wear black all day and will also refrain from doing any domestic chores in the household, including cooking and cleaning, as well as abstaining from sex.

Poland currently allows terminating pregnancy only at an early stage and when it threatens the life or health of the mother, when the baby is likely to be permanently handicapped or when pregnancy originates from a crime, for example rape or incest.

If the proposed new ban comes into force, it means all terminations would be criminalised and women could face up to five years in jail. Medics found assisting the termination would also be liable for prosecution and a prison sentence.

Critics fear the new law could mean that women who suffer miscarriages would be investigated and doctors could be put off conducting routine procedures on pregnant women in fear of being accused of facilitating an abortion.

Tomorrow's strike, dubbed 'the black protest', will take place in more than 60 different Polish cities.

Magda Staroszczyk, a strike co-ordinator, told the Guardian: 'A lot of women and girls in this country have felt that they don't have any power, that they are not equal, that they don't have the right to an opinion. This is a chance for us to be seen, and to be heard.'

The protest has been inspired by an all-out strike more than 40 years ago by women in Iceland, when 90 per cent refused to work, cook, or look after their children for a day in October 1975.

Catholic Bishops At War With Health Minister Over Abortion

Bishops of the Catholic Conference of Ibadan Ecclesiastical province have condemned the alleged subtle plan by the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, in collaboration with foreign organisations to increase the culture of contraception among Nigerian women, describing this as an anti-life policy.

The bishops also warned the political parties participating in the Edo and Ondo State governorship polls to desist from violence and align with the guidelines stipulated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to avert chaos in the system.

They praised President Muhammadu Buhari for exposing corrupt Nigerians in his anti-graft war, advising that the president must institutionalise the fight for it to outlast his administration and in the system.

A communique issued at the end of the three-day second plenary meeting of the province held in Akure, Ondo State, “condemned the recent move by the Minister of Health, Prof. Adewole, in collaboration with the foreign agencies to commit the federal government to increasing the culture of contraception and subsequently, abortion among our people.”

The communiqué signed by its President and Archbishop of Ibadan, Gabriel Abegunrin and Secretary, who also doubles as the Catholic Bishop of Ekiti State, Bishop Felix Ajakaye added: “The policy is being done all in the name of providing better maternal health and empowering our people.

“We see such moves as deceptive to our people and harmful to moral values and we ask Nigerians to reject them. Our youth and women need better power supply, potable water, good roads, better health and educational institutions more than these contraceptives.

“Our country must reject this relentless offer of anti-life incentives under the guise of foreign aid in order not to destroy our beautiful culture,” they advised.
