The project to amend the Penal Code, initiated by deputies Monica and Radu-Mihail Ionescu, proposes a harsher penalty for harming a fetus after 14 weeks of pregnancy. Critics, including IICCMER and PSD senator Victoria Stoiciu, argue that the initiative would effectively reduce the legal period for abortion and could lead to a return to the restrictive legislation of the communist era. In defense of the project, Monica Ionescu states that the aim is to protect assaulted women and to bring legislative coherence. Public reactions continue to be polarized, with concerns regarding women's rights.
