Shameful attacks on Congress by advocates of illegal abortion | Society

The embarrbading moment of Elias de Pérez in front of Alberto Komblihtt

That of this Monday was one of the most difficult days strained that occurred in Congress since the law of the legalization of abortion began to be debated in the commissions.

As it happened more than once during debates at Deputies, the debate that will end with the badurance notice that will allow voting of the project in the upper house room, serves among other things, as a scenario in which the poor arguments of the crusaders against legal abortion are made explicit.

In this context, who was protagonist of the Monday embarrbadment was the Radical Senator for Tucuman Silvia Elías de Pérez who took his activism for illegal abortion to similar levels to the worst speeches that were heard during the The legislator tried to corral the scientist Alberto Komblihtt with a question that worked like a boomerang. In her office, Elías de Pérez compared Down syndrome with "an incurable disease."

"If they suddenly detect that a child with Down syndrome …", the senator started, which was interrupted by the specialist: "I did not say Down syndrome , I said an incurable disease … do you believe that Down syndrome is a disease? "

Another unfortunate moment was the participation of the physician Luis Durand Figueroa who, for his speech, had no other idea than to choose a video banned from any discussion of abortion decades ago. It's "The Silent Scream," a 1984 documentary full of illusions about the termination of pregnancy. Not satisfied with this, the doctor (specialist of the esophagus) tried to "genocide" those who defend the legal abortion.

Another involuntary step of the comedy was in charge of the journalist of La Nación Mariano Obarrio who showed his lack of information on the subject for several weeks in different media.

"As much as they speak of gender equality, with this law, the man is not contemplated," he spat to the astonishment of those who attended his bizarre presentation, which also included the nickname "killers" to those of the woman to terminate a pregnancy.

"Your staging that you are pro-life and that those who are in favor are pro-death is the best way to divide society.I ask you not to call me genocidal or murderous" , said in turn Senator Beatriz Mirkin (FpV-PJ for Tucumán)

A gynecologist from La Rioja also left ] Sergio Feryala who on social networks was proud that in the Hospital where he works, they are not going to perform abortions. "With the law or without law", he vomited on his Twitter account

There are still several days to end the discussion in the Rivadavia Avenue annex and all that will happen there will have its apogee at the session of August 8 when the Senate finally addresses the bill in the police station and defines whether Argentina will do history again in Latin America and, like this has arrived with equal marriage, he will be (or not) the head of a legislative-social change on the continent.
