"I expected this uproar because unfortunately it is a sensitive and uncomfortable topic, but I didn't want to accuse anyone and I'm not an enemy of women's rights ."
This is how the deputy director of Tg1 Incoronata Boccia responds to the storm raised by her declarations in the program "Chesarà" , which aired on Saturday on Rai3.
“I believe I have told my truth,” the Sardinian journalist states in an interview with La Stampa. « I did not mean to condemn, insult or put myself on a pedestal to impart teachings. This is done by those who claim the right to gag those who think differently, believing that there is something right, synonymous with progress, rights and freedom, while everything else is a retrograde, repressive mentality that wants to bring women back to the caves."
The reactions towards him, he continues, were "violent". Boccia defends his thoughts: «My words were clear and clear with respect to a principle. I am a journalist and I tell the facts, for me abortion is the interruption of another life, of an unborn child . I am not an enemy of women's rights and I would never call another woman a murderer."
Boccia hopes «that all women can be supported and helped, because they are often victims forced to have an abortion. It is not by making this choice simple or considering it an exercise of freedom that we make it less burdensome or less harsh."
She doesn't talk about 194: «I don't want to be thrown into a debate on the topic , which is not on the government agenda because it doesn't bring votes or consensus and, according to this rampant do-goodism, it is an achievement of progress or civilization».
These are the words said by Boccia the other evening on TV: «Far be it from me to judge people, stories, but one judges a principle. We are exchanging a crime for a right, we are afraid to say, and even politics is afraid to say it, that abortion is murder . And there is little to smile about. I didn't say it, Mother Teresa of Calcutta said it, making the powerful of the Earth tremble, when she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize."
