Christian Finnish MP persecuted over tweet questioning homosexuality

Christian Finnish MP persecuted over tweet questioning homosexuality

May 8, 2024 | ,

In 2019, Dr Räsänen posted a tweet questioning her church’s official sponsorship of the Helsinki LGBTQ “Pride 2019” event. She quoted a passage from the Bible, Romans 1:24-27, which clearly denounces the misuse of one’s sexuality. Three criminal charges were filed against her over this tweet, a 2019 radio debate, and a 2004 pamphlet on the church’s teaching on sexuality. The Helsinki District Court issued a unanimous acquittal, but the prosecutors appealed that decision to the Appellate Court. This also unanimously acquitted Päivi from all charges. However, the Prosecutor General didn’t stop there. She asked the Supreme Court for permission to appeal the unanimous acquittal of the Court of Appeal. On April 19, the Supreme Court confirmed that Dr Räsänen would have to stand trial a third time.

However, this suicide program increasingly resembles a dystopian replacement for care services, exchanging social welfare for euthanasia.
