Simone Veil did a terrible disfavor to France, and the Jewish community
For somebody who's now being lauded following her death at age 89, it's devastating that somebody who experienced terror at the hands of the nazis would later approve of abortion, which is practically what the nazis favored themselves when it came to non-Aryan races they wanted to subjugate and destroy.
Galliawatch has some interesting information about Veil, and what her potential political background could be like:
Unlike feminist Evelyne Sullerot (see below), Simone Veil never expressed regret or alarm over the number of abortions; nor did she ever acknowledge that as the mores of society changed, abortion had become a green light for sexual licence and often led to misery and degradation for many girls. And that, contrary to expectations, abortion did not make relationships between men and women easier, but more problematical. For why should a man be concerned about love and marriage if women are free to “do as they please with their body”, and if there are no consequences to either the act of sex or the act of abortion?But she didn't think abortion was something the nazis would've been proud of? Or the Islamofascists? What she did, with utter irresponsibility, caused a lot of damage to France and other countries that similarly legalized abortion without exercising caution. It goes without saying that, if she had no issues to raise against immigration of Islamists, then it calls into question whether she really had anything against fascism in any form. She insulted the intellect of a lot of people and did serious damage. That's not somebody who deserves to be exalted to high status.
While the Veil Law removed responsibility from both men and women it catapulted Simone Veil to the heights of fame and adulation and she became and remained the most admired woman in France, both on the left and the right. Only Catholics and others with a similar moral code reacted with deep concern, if not horror, at the potential human loss that would not only bring about a decrease in population but would open the floodgates of immigration as a “replacement” for the children who were never born. Madame Veil never spoke out against immigration, no doubt because she regarded such a position as “racist” and too reminiscent of the Nazism under which she had suffered.
She may never have condemned Islamic anti-semitism in France either, and there's a strong possibility she was a socialist; she had once worked with Francois Mitterand's government. Did I mention the likelihood her steps also encouraged Jewish women to get abortions? It's regrettable that now, she's being elevated to pagan status, and that in a manner of speaking, she's got a mindset vaguely similar to Roman Polanski.
