2:34 am
about the hate that the or so to reverse is we're also going to lose your independence for workers, for doctors, nurses and so on. so the tightening of abortion laws is tantamount to a total bank of america. well, the whole of each other uses a level of the mo, link opens up its us that awesome the martyr lampart. this constitutes an attack on women in your it was just an you'll implemented law. he just established law by the parliament. it's not signed by the fellow president, yet about few might sign that a monday on tuesday a that the law that says that each time anyone provides a little more from poland and the punishment will be jailed. we had other punishment like pines lesson. and now we will be just dale, i sold this history of right, very strict law, and it will see them in this economic package about it. and they get prices. so which is hollands recently that they could have like
2:35 am
a minute to put it into parliament. and now we are waiting for that for the beautiful to the president and then we want to worship them. polish society is divided for some the new abortion law is simply medieval, while others think the government is finally doing the right thing. despite these vociferous protests, many polls are happy with the legislation. this is a profoundly catholic nation after all. home to radical catholic organizations. sanchez, auto juris. what will of your great countrymen in saint john john john? follow the rule. you say say now when you god demonstrating in favor of death. he who told you about this cult that you held on the communist go back to catholicism
2:36 am
and celebrate live in stock demonstrating in order to to kill little babies before they even bow. we wish to send a clear message to brussels. has all the traditional family hands out the traditional male and female identities? hands off national savannah. hm. we on the middle of the global war, this is a war between the coach of death and the country. like the demonstrators say, members of order. juris are the architects behind the new legislation. quarter euro says it is an independent catholic institution. its influence has grown considerably in poland in recent years, pulled to we we can anticipate what the ideas will be and it will be among the most ultraconservative extremist ideas. one can imagine and then from these ideas or do
2:37 am
you has, has been able to present a very clean image of themselves. so dr. now they look like nice, respectable lawyers wearing a suit and tie speaking a language tra, steeped in this fake human rights language that i mentioned earlier with a lot of legal sounding things. and it doesn't pass the test of actual legal language. but it, it sounds good enough for the movement, protesting the new abortion law. order. juris represents the enemy. you order. juris chance the angry crowd. order your estate. hell. draft the new law and has even founded its own faculty for medical law and bio ethics. data jenna jesse act is director of the center. the catholic organisation is bankrolled, by donations from home and abroad. was networks extending across europe.
2:38 am
a settle turn other juris? pardon me, hockey out of shall esteem in the some of his corner, both the order juris institute and i myself believe that abortion is the murder of a human being for you. there is scientific evidence that from the moment of conception, we are dealing with a human being the hold of no cover each essentially amended sinner. does with us all or is he still follows? call monitor turning out. what's crucial here is that this person has its own genome, distinct from that of its parents back out. and there's no doubt at all that this is a human genome. although just of again on even gonna do, i just, i'm gonna build ski order. juris focuses on children born to polish families or europe's right wing parties and abortion band plays internationalist feelings. willoughby migrants have more children than europeans. is that a problem? i dark with young as i to let it to mr. vicious gosnell
2:39 am
godson. ah, yes. the birth rate among migrants which is higher than in families who live in the respective country, or have the citizenship of an e. you nation is certainly concerning a problem. australia will grant off. it's not the migrants that had the problem. yeah. a lot the, it's more that e, you citizens are being faced with a conundrum. it's sort of our standard of living is improving where leading better and more comfortable lives. and that's why it's difficult to understand why fewer and fewer children are being born indiana. but as i already miguel a jet problem in his daughter, a little bit of things from push others to key. thank you. heard you lou. conservative activists hope a stringently conservative family planning policy will help counter the trend. pro lifers started forming international networks years ago. the last major european
2:40 am
gathering took place in 2019 before the corona virus hit the world congress of families where religious pro lifers and right wing conservative politicians have been meeting for a quarter of a century. every country has its own laws. every phase is that stated aim to celebrate the traditional family the world needs ears, children thousands took part in the congress in the italian city of verona. in addition to arch conservative politicians and christian leaders from all over the world, italian pro lifers and counter demonstrators were also in attendance. journalist adam ramsey infiltrated to congress under cover for the liberal online platform open democracy. ramsey claimed to have inherited a huge fortune, and that he was ready to to nate it to
2:41 am
a worthy cause. i went to, well, congress and families. i'm posing as a potential funder for different registered service groups. i tell people that my uncle had died and he was a very religious man. and i was looking for causes to give his money to that i knew who believe in. and the aiming was to get him to tell me about how they were organizing. this is, monet, ramsey observed over several days at the congress to walk away from families, which was a major gatherings across the planet of kind of ultraconservative and for right groups we find absolutely, you know, the kind of christian conservative movement, the anti abortion movement, rubbing shoulders with the ac d and other for right groups in germany,
2:42 am
ramsey managed to gain access to the inner circles of power. he was in contact with this man ignacio as who aga, he's the head of citizen, go a right wing, conservative online action group and petition platform focused on europe. that natural family is under attack all over the world. because this culture war and i agree with steve, shirley, i'm, it's our global war. the meeting brings together entre conservatives and christian, fundamentalists all celebrating the traditional family free for the natural family . pray for our families. trust. god drives the divine providence. that isn't god has branches in many european union nations, representatives work to establish political contacts wherever they can. the world congress on families is the big networking event. at the meeting,
2:43 am
journalist ramsey got the chance to talk with citizen, go boss. as the aga, he recorded the conversation on his phone. no, been going through, we would launch a campaign and a couple of countries where we want to make an impact. probably those countries where you have anti globalist, you know, people who don't like the european union parties that don't want the european union to get international issues. and at the same time, parties that are closer to us in terms of family life. so let's say in poland, hungary, italy, you know, maybe in germany too. and in spain, even smaller countries like silver kia. but they have very few delegates in the european parliament, the big of the country, the larger the influence moment. or what he said to me was that absolutely i
2:44 am
could give him money in his organization money in order to support groups like f d and the law and justice party and poland, and v dash in hungry and vaux in spain. the way he would do this is by running smear campaigns against their opponents. so he wouldn't explicitly support the fall right parties, but he told me they had close connection to these parties. they met with him regularly and if i gave them money, they would use that money to attack these parties. opponents driving voters towards the, for i part is in theory despite protests, the ultra conservatives have plenty of financial support. on the one hand, there is money coming over here. we did the report which we released in june of this year over the past in years. it's over $18000000.00 that has come from the united states into europe, which is the 3rd largest mot. larger of mos come from russian federation and even
2:45 am
larger, larger amounts come from europe itself. in italy, religious anti abortionist. so i've been growing bolder, burying aborted fetuses in cemeteries is one tactic a burial ground in rome? the chimney taro fleming. yo. the cross is here. bear the names of aborted o miscarriage fetuses and their mothers without their knowledge, ah, castaway pro life group saw legally able to apply to hospitals for burial permits. and with the aborted fetuses are then given a catholic burial key
2:46 am
is i can dolly got banks and key to dealing with the catholic church believes really that even in the case of abnormalities, even if the fetus cannot survive the pregnancy must be brought to term at all costs school quick. it's even gone as far as the setting up of the hospice in room accommodating families that have somehow been forced to continuing such a pregnant saying that it was 3 this results in the baby that can't survive the la nash, they can leave it at this house best to die. and it also interesting, christophe is that am on since january 2021. 0 linds abortion band has been near total anti abortion propaganda is also
2:47 am
widespread. this is impacting the work of doctors and hospitals. meadows while vill gosh, is a professor of prenatal diagnostics at the medical university of warsaw. he feels threatened even. but as i'm somebody now say put out a sticker wash. i don't know how we can go on with our work as diagnosticians in prenatal therapy in particular. i couldn't have imagined being undermined like this, working in such intimidating circumstances. i've always emphasized that all invasive procedures, including the operations, we carry out a highly complex and serious matter, the balloons go wrong. even the simplest can lead to a variety of complications that we can't control was not as io will be quite. yeah,
2:48 am
it can simply happen being so she is on a village tackle customer, rochelle vidarres. the don't to fears that if the death of an embryo is deemed to be an abortion, he'll have to go to jail. now every diagnosis is legally sensitive, but then you put in a tongue a so much tension against this prenatal diagnosis, indicate serious irreversible damage or disability and the fetus. previously that would have been a reason to terminate the pregnancy that the decision was taken by the patient. not the doctor. i mean, i want to stress that, but i'm not now that's in the past. we are, even in the case of a severely sick fetus, with a fatal defect where it's known in advance that there is no chance of survival hormone either because it will die in the womb or shortly after birth. even then the patient has no option but to continue the pregnancy, but she and he can save babies like these hospices of being set up for the others.
2:49 am
their mothers are expected to wait for their fetus to die or leave the new bonds to be careful until they perish. marty lampart, 6 months after the mass demonstrations. centrally, what we've got now is a total ban on abortion and certainly previously we had 3 exceptions. but one of them was the reason for 98 percent of cases where the fetus is showing irreversible abnormalities. now that exception has been found to be unconstitutional. leaving $30.00 to $40.00 abortions in poland every year by that i mean legal terminations of course only aborts martel em pants fight against the law and justice party and for women and their rights has made her a household name in poland. now she is recognized on the street, but she hasn't achieved her goals on your legal nickel. there are a 100000 devotions every year, some say a 150000. we're dealing with a total ban,
2:50 am
but that doesn't mean no abortions to taking place. there just happening illegally or abroad so do women no longer have any right to make decisions about their own bodies? and i'm a yes we do have that right. it's inalienable, but the state doesn't guarantee us this medical service and even threatens us with punishments. abortions have happened, do happen, and will continue to happen in the future. even the conservatives concede that slight. blue, vermont lampart, the future looks bleak. she doesn't think things will change any time soon. some women who can't abort in poland, come to berlin, they come to us are a deal. they get help from the feminist and her organisation, santa barbara, or cha cha basha in polish. touch dash o m does not include essentially,
2:51 am
char basha tries to provide a complete package. we make all the appointments for the women from poland and interpret at these appointments primarily at the clinics and the counseling session . and we also provide a private room if the woman needs to spend the night with us, some of the seattle we can make sure we can accommodate them and provide them with financial support as well. because we rely on private donations to enable us to cover everything, travel causes the procedure and everything, so that the women get an all round service and a safe abortion here vicious, a problem to become polish. women undergo a safe abortion here at this berlin medical center. since pony shores were tightened, there's been a rise in demand, but only a slight one. after all, the situation was difficult already. it once had such a zillow of i had lost her and the things have changed for us in as far as we are
2:52 am
getting more requests one. but i don't think that's necessarily because the last were tightened, because women seeking later abortions weren't getting any help in poland. anyway, his doctor's, there were so afraid they were refusing to help women before all of this is thomas from to 3 years ago. we had women coming to us in exactly the same circumstances, i guess they could no longer find any doctors in poland willing to help them with kind of estimate from having the inclusion hub. i think if things aren't particularly rosy in germany either to possession, there are still many women who are really ashamed to ask that gynecologist about it . or you find themselves having to make loads of calls, trying to find someone offering the service, or who struggled to get information on how the procedure even works. and from yet practicing abortion with papayas, a workshop run by the organization, doctors for choice. it's a chance for medical students to learn how to carry out
2:53 am
a termination. it's also aimed at addressing any reservations they may have on file when you visited in the many universities don't include abortion in the medical studies curriculum. and if they do, usually only the legal aspects looks hats or it's dealt with as a problematic medical ethics issue. the actual medical methods, they're often not towards ones that that's why we've been offering these papaya courses. said that this the space to come into contact with the subject in the 1st place, to take a good look at it and maybe even hold the instruments that many students think it's a major stomach operation. and a very surprised to learn that it's a relatively minor procedure. many universities don't yet provide this kind of space any visiting no finished elisia bye, a co founded doctors for choice in response to worrying developments in germany
2:54 am
default knows the truck, an assistant, a provide a situation will get worse. because many of those carrying out abortions are still doing it only because they can't find any one to take over. so they're continuing for a few years past their retirement age. but when they stop, that's going to be a problem. urgent political measures are required and not much has happened to date . in the absence of a standard medical abortion training. elisia bye hopes, how students can make a difference isn't a time, much easier too many of them. i really enthusiastic and even came to organized for i a workshops themselves, have somebody so i do feel somehow problem and we need hope because the next few years look really bleak as far as providers go. many of the doctors still carrying out abortions, the working pulse, their retirement age, one does middle at some point, they're going to stop and what then. maybe in 10 or 20 years time, these students will be able to improve things. who knows membership as i've been,
2:55 am
ah, ah, valentina mulattoes funeral is indelibly etched on the memories of many italians? ah, the final day of the court hearing was a year ago. the family is still waiting for a decision their wounds will never heal. list is on the dylan gray, that criminals and all they didn't call to offer their condolences leave in the flowers very well for a 32 year old woman with a tiny twins who they killed who they allowed to die tomorrow. either you can't continue to defend them by telling lies of a woman's right to make an informed decision about her own body is still not something that can be taken for granted. here in 21st century,
