«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."
Storm over the Sardinian deputy director of Tg1 Incoronata Boccia who yesterday, during the program "Che Sara" on Rai3, said that abortion is not a right but a crime.
Words deemed "unacceptable" by the Democratic Party . «Incoronata Boccia - Democratic Party senator Cecilia D'Elia attacks on This is Meloni's Rai. This is not a public service ."
«What drives a woman to define a right that is in the Constitution as a crime remains a mystery. For which she, the journalist Incoronata Boccia, will answer to her conscience, but for which the Rai top management must also answer. Can someone who offends women and the law still hold the role of deputy director of the country's main news program? There is a problem in Italy's largest cultural company that ranges from censorship to violating state laws. Shameful and unacceptable", adds Chiara Braga , leader of the Pd group in the Chamber.
The vice-president of the group in the Senate Alessandra Maiorino speaks for M5s: «Everyone is free to express their thoughts, but it is disconcerting to hear the deputy director of Tg1 Incoronata Boccia define abortion "a crime" and "a murder" as she did yesterday in a public service television broadcast. If you want to carry out propaganda against the freedom and self-determination of women, do so without insulting those who legitimately choose to terminate their pregnancies following a state law and without attacking the doctors who guarantee that right."
Born in Abbasanta, Incoronata Boccia is 42 years old and married to Ignazio Artizzu , former municipal councilor of Cagliari and regional councilor of Sardinia in the ranks of Forza Italia, now editor-in-chief of Tgr Rai Sardegna.
On TV she started by replacing Enrico Mentana on Tg5, then she was invited to "La vita in diretta", she worked on the Sardinian regional Rai news program and on "Uno Mattina", before becoming deputy director of Tg1.
In defense of the journalist, the former president of the Sardinia Region Ugo Cappellacci intervenes, without citing her, who shares the phrase of Mother Teresa of Calcutta on Instagram («I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, a murder committed by the mother herself») and writes: «In life one should have courage. Courage to say what you think and courage to let others say what they think. The more I look around, the more the second category of courage seems lacking to me. It is commonly called intolerance and is a form of fascism ."
