Prozántlivé

Prozántlivé is a Slovak term that translates to "pro-life" in English. It refers to individuals or groups who hold the belief that human life begins at conception and therefore abortion should be illegal or heavily restricted. This stance is often rooted in moral, ethical, or religious convictions.

Proponents of the prozántlivé viewpoint emphasize the moral status of the fetus and argue for its right to life. They may advocate for policies that support pregnant individuals and new parents, aiming to reduce the perceived need for abortion. This can include promoting adoption services, providing resources for single mothers, and encouraging alternatives to terminating a pregnancy.

The prozántlivé movement is often contrasted with the "pro-choice" movement, which emphasizes a woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. Discussions surrounding prozántlivé beliefs frequently involve debates about bodily autonomy, the definition of personhood, and the role of government in regulating reproductive healthcare. In Slovakia, as in many other countries, the prozántlivé perspective has a significant presence in public discourse and political debates.
