His name is Adam… but he was born without features.
He is the son of sin… without having committed any crime.
Born from a mother who did not choose… but rather had a choice forced upon her.
A mother wounded in silence, betrayed by the one who was supposed to protect her: her father.
Yes, his father is his grandfather.
And his mother… is his sister.
Here, blood did not procreate… but pain multiplied.
How cruel it is for a mother to be forced to carry her wound for nine months,
to become the witness, the victim, and the bearer of a completed crime,
and no one asks: What about her? What about that being who will bear the shame from the very first cry?
The law is silent.
And its silence is another crime.
In this country, women are denied abortions, even in cases of rape and incest.
As if the law does not see, does not hear, and cannot imagine for a moment that there might exist within a female body a pregnancy born of fear and shame.
Our call is clear:
When will lawmakers realize that abortion, in such cases, is not a choice but a necessity?
When will it be understood that forcing a mother to give birth to a child from her own father is compounded violence?
It is an abortion of justice before it is an abortion of the fetus.
When will the law be more merciful than the monster who committed the assault?
This is not merely a feminist appeal,
but a call to human conscience, and to the law that is supposed to deliver justice, not to add weight to the disaster.
In Morocco:
Abortion is still criminalized under Article 449 of the Penal Code,
and is permitted only in very narrow extraordinary cases, with complex and unjust conditions,
despite repeated human rights recommendations, and despite the tragedies that are repeatedly suffered in silence.
Even in cases of incest, and even when the victim is a minor,
humanity is not considered, nor the horror of the crime,
instead she is sentenced to a psychological life imprisonment, and her womb is forced to cradle a curse she had no choice in.
Therefore, we demand:
An urgent amendment of Article 449 and the subsequent provisions, to allow for safe and free abortion
in cases of rape, incest, congenital malformations, and anything that threatens the physical or mental health of the mother.
Criminalizing institutional silence, and establishing specialized reception units for victims of incest,
to ensure their protection, psychological support, and legal assistance.
To liberate the law from the pressure of rigid conservative thought, so that it becomes a tool of justice, not an additional tool of oppression.
Because every child born from the womb of crime without being asked,
and every mother forced to embrace her wound forever,
is a collective failure for all of us.
This is a call to conscience,
a call for the right to life with dignity,
a call to protect the victims… before we create new victims.
