| Résumé: | This paper is a reaction to the controversial interview with Zbigņevs Stankevičs, the Archbishop of the Latvian Roman Catholic Church, where he opposes a less burdensome legal regulation in Latvia for abortion access for Ukrainian women refugees who have been raped by Russian soldiers and subsequently have become pregnant. The paper is based on the said interview, analysing and commenting excerpts from it. Archbishop’s utterances are divided into two groups: those concerning the woman and those concerning the foetus. The paper accordingly has two parts. Archbishop represents a radical "pro-life" stance that prohibits abortion even in cases of rape. This paper, in contrast, represents the "pro-choice" stance and shows that the radical "pro-life" stance does not transpire from the Christian tradition, theology and the Bible; that a Christian approach does not necessitate a ban on abortions, not only after rape, but also in other relevant contexts. To do this, the paper will employ arguments from bioethics, general theological and biblical considerations, including both philosophical and theological antinatalist positions, as well as insights from feminist theology. |
