In a post on X, Bonino said of the Pope’s visit, “when he told me that I am ‘an example of freedom and resistance,’ it filled me with joy.”
Prior to the papal visit, the notorious abortionist expressed her continued commitment to advocating for such things as euthanasia. In comments on X, she said, “There are many battles to fight, I want to regain my strength quickly — there’s still so much to conquer: from citizenship (for illegal immigrants) to euthanasia. When it comes to rights, we can’t stand still.”
Bonino is widely known as a leading figure behind Italy’s legalization of abortion. In the early 1970s, she became infamous for performing thousands of illegal abortions, often using crude methods, including a homemade device operated by a bicycle pump. After having an illegal abortion herself at age 27 and subsequently serving a brief prison sentence, Bonino became a hero to the left-leaning media.
