Family -friendly government program: a glimmer of hope for parents!

Salzburg, Österreich - Vienna - The Life campaign has highlighted the initiatives of the new government programs as promising for families. An maintenance guarantee is particularly pointed out to protect women and children from poverty. According to Secretary General Martina Kronthaler, this initiative is urgently necessary, since many mothers often do not receive financial support if the maintenance is not paid. "A maintenance guarantee would help many women with existential worries," she emphasizes in a message, which is published by Kathpress was.

Another central topic is the promotion of the father's participation and the announced reform of childcare allowance, which aims to strengthen partnership. In many European countries there are already successful models that divide the maternity period between the parents.

dispute over information campaign

At the same time, the Life Salzburg campaign clearly commented on the planned information campaign of the new state government, which is intended to reduce abortions. This initiative includes a study to record the abortion motifs and was proposed by both the Landes-ÖVP and the FPÖ. The Life campaign stands behind the argument of State Councilor Daniela Gutschi, who emphasizes that life before the decision to abortion should be given a chance. In its statement, the association explains that political disputes about the abortion law do not help the pregnant women and their families, but rather focus on the necessary help. In order to combat child poverty and support young families, the social pressure on expectant mothers has to be reduced, as they are in a press release to katholisch.at .

The politician Gutschi and the Life campaign pursue the goal of promoting comprehensive prevention of unwanted pregnancies, while support for pregnant women and families is to be strengthened. With the creation of a foundation for well -founded decisions, the campaign hopes to direct the discussion about abortion in a constructive direction.
