ZURICH, July 4, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Swiss pro-life groups have filed a petition with the Federal Chancellery today calling for a ballot initiative to defund abortion. The petition was signed by over 111,000 supporters.
Financing abortions through compulsory national health insurance premiums “makes us co-responsible for an act that we condemn,” committee co-chair Valerie Kasteler told reporters today.
If we know we will have to pay for abortion, we will avoid getting ourselves into that circumstance,” said** National Councillor Elvira Bader** (PDC / SO), whose party supports the initiative.
