As a result of this proposal, the opinions of politicians stood out: we will try to convince arguments

In Lithuania, termination of pregnancy is legal. Every woman has the right to choose.

« There are different cases of why this may be needed. Sometimes health is more important, it is more important to preserve a woman’s health, » she said.

« Human freedom to choose should remain, but should be defined by medicine, which is the right week to do so, » said another interlocutor.

« I think it is not we who decide when a new life is in the family, so I do not agree with the abortion, » she said.

The signature of one person – the Minister of Health – decides such sensitive questions about when and how to terminate the pregnancy.

« What does this mean? It means that a change in the minister is very easy to change and valid order. It can be changed both on a very conservative path and to the other side, » said Victoria Čmilytė-Nielsen, Member of the Seimas (LS).

LNK stop shot.

Abortion is allowed before 12 weeks of gestation. In exceptional cases, up to 22.

« After 20 years, it is already a law that combines all these services, » explained Birutė Vėsaitė, a Member of the Seimas (LSDP).

Social Democrat B. Vėsaitė registered the bill. It is proposed to provide abortion and emergency contraceptive services for free. Because these are too expensive now.

« Because of the availability of contraceptive services, Lithuania is even after Ukraine and Belarus, » said B. Vėsaitė.

Pregnancy in Lithuania can be terminated both surgically and with special medicines. Only the last part of the women did not even know because the medical institutions do not recognize it. The law would be entitled to choose and not to pay – now such a procedure can be separated by about 800 euros.

« For such a girl from a disadvantaged family, it is, in fact, dream money, » said B. Vėsaitė.

Former Minister of Health Aurelijus Veryga is angry with suggestions. I think it is inadequate to terminate pregnancy 22 weeks. Because the fruit is already formed.

« Why not up to 38? Why not up to 40? Why not after birth? Who did you come up with, who decided such things? » Asked A. Veryga.

However, the initiators of the law do not change order. In week 22, abortion is allowed now – if there is a health risk, as well as in rape or incest.

« See, such proposals are undoubtedly combined with an obstetrician gynecologist, specialist suggestions and are scientifically based, » said Jurgita Sejoniene, a member of the Seimas (TS-LKD).

LNK stop shot.

A. Veryga was also caught by the fact that Conservative J. Sejoniene was supported by the law. The party’s values ​​are not compatible with the law. Laurynas Kasčiūnas, chairman of the Conservative Party, promises to talk to his colleague.

« We follow that the current regulation is sufficient and should not touch it. We need to talk all the time in a friendly, beautiful, we will try to convince arguments, » said L. Kasčiūnas.

Member of the Seimas does not promise to change the opinion, the project will support the project.

« I do not see any contradiction with our party’s program, with party values, because each party’s greatest value, first of all, must be human, » said J. Sejoniene.

Testing laws have already been regulated by the procedure of abortion in the Seimas. For ideological disagreements, suggestions remained suggestions. Member of the Seimas Vytautas Sinica is convinced that the current order is good.

« Now to try to lift that to the Seimas level, to register the law, it is simply unnecessary tension. I have no idea who I need, I will definitely be against, » said V. Sinica, a Member of the Seimas (MG).

Some politicians fear that the legalization of abortions will only increase. However, according to B. Vėsaitė, practice shows something else.

« In countries with good sex education, where contraception is, no one is lost in babies, no one is killed, abortion is reduced. This law will serve it, » – assured B. Vėsaitė.

« There are also adolescent pregnancies, which we really do not look statistically well, and again, educational measures are needed-the Law on Reproductive Health also talks about them, » said V. Čmilytė-Nielsen.

The law would enshrine the help of sexual violence, psychological and medical care. All services would be funded by the Compulsory Health Insurance Fund or the State Budget.
