N. Giannakopoulou for Metropolitan of Dodoni: We will not accept a return to the Middle Ages

“The statements of Metropolitan Dodoni on the occasion of the circular of the Holy Synod on abortions are a return to the most conservative views of the past, a return to the Middle Ages”, commented Nadia Giannakopoulou, on behalf of PASOK – Movement for Change.

The party’s parliamentary spokeswoman pointed out that the notions that “there is no woman who sits around being raped without wanting it”, that “abortion is a crime” and that “even when a fetus has serious health problems, it should be requested permission from the Church to have an abortion and that indeed it should be proven scientifically and not with a financial guarantee of the doctor’s decision” are regressive, obscurantist and dangerous concepts.

In fact, he argued that some people seem to be jealous of the glory of the US Supreme Court and seek to bring to the public debate an issue that has been resolved for decades now in Greece.

“We all have a duty – parties, institutions, the scientific community, women’s organizations – not to allow any retreat, any opening of the door for the questioning of women’s rights, which do not need any approval from anyone to exercise”, emphasized Ms. Giannakopoulou .
