Democrat Party MP Gérard Schockmel came under fire at the weekend from several quarters, including those from his own party, after the Luxemburger Wort published a guest opinion column he had written on plans to include the freedom to getting an abortion in the Luxembourg constitution.
The opinion piece, titled How feminism dominates the abortion debate, argues that modern feminism is far removed from the fight for women’s rights made by Simone Veil, a French Holocaust survivor who became the first elected president of the European Parliament in 1979.
