Pontifical Institute Bashes Iran for Limiting Abortion, Contraception
AsiaNews.com is produced by the Rome based Pontifical Institute for Foreign Mission (PIME). In the style of socialist child- and family-haters, it writes that the new norms are wanted by the “ultra-conservative” president Raisi in order “to control women and family life.”
The webpage complains that Raisi intends to “shelve years of free access to [immoral] contraception and [murderous] abortion,” and quotes “UN experts” who slander the forward-looking law as "a blatant violation of women's human rights" – as if murdering children were anybody’s right.
Iran has the lowest fertility rate in the Middle East experiencing a 25% drop in the birth rate over the last four years, now standing at dramatic 1.7 children per mother.
The founder of the Islamic Republic, Ruhollah Khomeini (+1989), encouraged families to have only one or two children, opposed underage pregnancies, and provided free contraceptives or vasectomies.
