San Marino. Mangiarotti criticizes UDS and CSDL on the termination of pregnancy

The Overton window also among us?
Once it was said: “Quos vult Jupiter perd dementat prius”, and the good Father Dante: “We have come to the place where I told you / that you will see the painful people / they have lost the good of our intellect “(Eg social they remind us that they have lost “the truth, God, the supreme good of human intelligence. Today, losing the well-being of the intellect has the meaning of going crazy, of losing mental clarity “).
This is the impression one gets when reading certain comments on the outcome of the work of the IV Commission regarding the regulation of the IVG, abortion, so to speak.
What to think in the face of these statements ofUDS? «We believe instead that there are some critical issues – we hope they can be overcome in second reading – in the first two articles.
The first [articolo] affirms the principle of “protection of human life from his” which to date does not find a univocal scientific, legal and ethical interpretation and a beginning that could represent the expedient of ultraconservatives to cancel this hard-won right in the future; it is enough to see what happened in the USA ».
This is the obscurantism of those who want to be “enlighteners”. We understand that the ultrasound has been around for over 40 years, and it shows life, human, from the very beginning, indisputably. Eyes are all it takes to see (and perhaps this is the reason why we are against showing ultrasound to those seeking abortion).
Then we read this gem of the unions (CSDL): “Pdl” Regulation of voluntary termination of pregnancy “:” conscience “must not prevail over the referendum result.” We ask ourselves if we want to return to the obscure totalitarian and communist, with the hatred of conscience as a principle of social and political action. But isn’t it because “conscience” is no longer the rule of our behavior that we are living in this situation of crisis of values, choices, relationships? Engagement in politics cannot and must not be the arena of officials. The glorious history of the Republic reminds us that men of conscience have generated good for everyone. If the “relinquo liberos ab utroque” for many is considered an invitation to put on the part of the Church, let us not forget that it is also the refusal of enslavement to power (economic, political, cultural, media …) that constitutes our strength. We consider ourselves the heirs of those great ones who knew how to obey their conscience, risking their lives and going against the tide. It is our pride, and we do not like the praise of conformity, of what it is called politically correct and that a lay person with a Marxist background called “man with one dimension”.
We love reason and freedom, and we know that the foundation is the passionate search for truth. We love confrontation, and we know it’s not compromised. We love life, from the first moment to its natural end, and we know that it is not available, and has infinite value.
Faced with these claims (of the UDS and CSDL) we ask ourselves why it seems so difficult to react, which I did long ago. That human life has its beginning from conception and that conscience, albeit in quotation marks, has a primacy even in politics until recently seemed evident truths. Now it seems that stating the opposite is not only an acceptable position, but certainly more advanced than the traditional positions.
What happened at this juncture?
It seems to me that what is called the “Overton window” is the most convincing explanation. It shows how we can go from rejection to acceptance of opposing passarecceptions, with a path in which we do not realize the reasons for the change.
Here’s how that process (the Spider web) can also happen between us:
«The ideas pass through the following phases;
1 unthinkable (unacceptable, prohibited);
2 radicals (prohibited but with exceptions);
3 acceptable;
4 sensible (rationally defensible);
5 spread (socially acceptable);
6 legalized (fully introduced)
The basic concept is to understand what an idea is currently in (for example, the legalization of drugs) and progressively shift it towards the next, in a series of steps … “
“…There gradual persuasion the window little by little so that people don’t realize that their idea has changed.
This phenomenon is often observed when a group of people have an idea that they want to be accepted by the rest of the population e propose the idea in stages. For example, for the first gay rights groups it was unthinkable to promote the approval of same-sex marriage, because first it was necessary to get people to accept the idea of homosexuality, then to convince people that homosexuality was not a threat to the society and so on.
Note how these phenomena are independent of the “moral” value of the idea, nor is it important that you personally you approve of the idea. It is neither a “good” nor a “bad” phenomenon, it is simply the way it is social and political proposals they come to be accepted or rejected. Whether these proposals are “good” or “bad” does not matter ».[https://bloginbrevebiz/overton-window/[https://bloginbrevebiz/overton-window/[https://bloginbrevebiz/finestra-di-overton/[https://bloginbrevebiz/finestra-di-overton/
Do we want to learn to think with our heads? And react to the homologation that is surreptitiously imposed?
