Slovaks should tell them "stay the f**k away from us when this issues are concerned. It's not EU's business".
It would simplify things if Brussels would simply issue abortion quotas that each member state is required to meet. It would be easier, then, to measure compliance.
But you know, they would have to create a commission, to negotiate those quotas. :-)
Go Benedikt! Don't let the corrupt EU commissioners dictate to the Church.
Slovakia's birthrate is practically zilch, isn't it? If they don't want to disappear as a nationality, they'd better do *something* soon.
"about the loss of rights for women."
They'd do better to worry about how soon Sharia will be imposed on all of them, and the women will have to don chadors.
Women have a God-given right to kill their babies! < /s>
It is indeed EU business to clarify that it is the human right of each physician to refuse abortion due to this Hippocratic oath and his ethic background.
No human being can be forced to kill another human being!
Yep. You are probably right that it is formally no field were they can be active.
Nevertheless it belongs to the basic human rights to refuse murder. The EU should be civilized enough to respect this and it would be appropriate to them to take it into their agenda.
Go Benedikt! It is necessary.
If they rendered Caesar anything, they'd jump off a bridge and llet those kids live without them
Maybe the Vatican found one Christian nation remaining in Europe that its trying to convince to save itself by reproducing and adding a few more Europeans to the dying continent. Afterall, the only ones producing more are the muslims, that happy go lucky, tolerant, loving group of independent thinking, freedom loving folks.
Amazing that they would object to this. It boggles my mind.
Kudos to Pope Benedict XVI for his stand.
Slovakia should just tell the EU to go to hell. Such matters are Slovakia's own business and it's business alone.
BTW, Slovakia isn't exclusively Catholic. There was and still is a decent sized Protestant minority (mainly Lutheran, I believe). What's their opinion on this?
