Petition your politicians to spend tax money on contraceptives instead of abortion. Volunteer to teach young people about their options for safe sex. If you don't like abortion, be a part of the solution instead of a part of the problem.
I'll tell you why that won't work, even though it is the right call:
1 - The majority of the population is against abortion, we wouldn't have enough subscriptions for a valid petition
2 - Most people don't even care about voting, they certainly won't give a damn about a petition to allow women to commit 'qualified murder'
3 - Our politicians only care about statistics, not about results, as long as our education is statistically good they are happy, in spite of this happening because teachers pass every student, they are ordered to do so
4 - We have too many problems to care about abortion now, and some politicians still discuss if we should make abortion illegal again. If the far right gets more votes this will happen.
5 - Even if we made a petition, politicians aren't obligated to support it
I'm sorry if you've said this before, but where do you live again?
