POGO Condemns Geadis' Statements on Abortion Rights at European Parliament

The Women's Movement POGO has strongly criticized MEP Geadis Geadis (ELAM) for his rhetoric against women's abortion rights during a debate at the European Parliament plenary session. POGO describes Geadis' statements as conservative, ideologically charged, and revealing ignorance, arguing that he attempts to decide on the lives and bodies of women. Furthermore, POGO accuses Geadis and his like-minded colleagues of hypocrisy, as they focus on 'protecting life' while remaining silent on issues such as poverty, gender-based violence, and the lack of support for women and mothers. The Movement emphasizes that the right to abortion is non-negotiable and was won through decades of struggle, stating that it will not allow any regression in this area. It denounces the attempt to control and subjugate women and stresses that their bodies are not a field for political exploitation.
