The psychological media campaign against abortion

Impose It's a thorny verb. There's no way to pick it up without ending up with a sting. That's why it's the verb he chooses. The reason for its headline "The left wants to impose abortion tourism as a recognized right." The phrase, in reality, makes no sense: rights cannot be impose, but rather they are established, guaranteed, or enacted, and from there, each person freely chooses whether to exercise it... or not. But, of course, the goal is to taint the measure and resort to this semantic absurdity to trigger the automatic antipathy toward what we are forced to do. There is a movement in the right-wing media that seeks to portray the option of abortion as a kind of frivolity that the left irresponsibly and gleefully promotes. It's about catching women in a moment of trance and placing unacceptable social pressure on their shoulders. The fact that the only voice included in the article is that of a Vox MP, who occupies eight of the article's thirteen paragraphs, is pure doctrine, according to which motherhood is the highest and most natural calling for women. Or the only possible one.

And then there is the perverse use of the term "abortion tourism." What the EU is seeking is for women living in countries where the practice is repressed to be able to exercise their right to terminate their pregnancy elsewhere. No one has an abortion for pleasure, and even less so if they have to do it abroad, fleeing pressure and repression. Selling it as a frivolity—"Enjoy yourself, now we'll all pay for your Vueling tickets!"—completely blurs the substance of this measure. And it adds to the social stigmatization of abortion, which, ultimately, goes beyond the ethical debate about when life begins because the underlying theme is, above all, reducing women to their reproductive function.
