Slovak MP Clarifies Controversial Amendment After Experts Warn It Could Endanger Children from Anonymous Births

Paula Puškárová, a member of parliament from the ruling Hlas party, has defended her proposed legislative amendment after experts warned it could endanger children born through anonymous births and baby hatches. Puškárová clarified that her proposal is intended to address situations where women and men communicate about births, not cases involving abused women. However, legal experts argue that the actual wording of the amendment does not reflect this limited scope and could have broader, unintended consequences for vulnerable mothers and children who rely on anonymous birth options for safety.
