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?
Portugal. Can you spell massive economic and financial crisis? Worse than us is only Greece.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
