Croatia's female ex-president on Friday became the latest woman to give the middle finger to several conversative politicians for their anti-abortion statements during campaigning for next month's parliamentary election.

Many Croatian actresses, journalists and other female public figures have taken part in the campaign which has seen women posting pictures on social media of themselves symbolically raising their middle fingers.

"I join all women who with this 'indecent' act... raise their voice against those who try to send us back centuries," former conservative president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic told the Jutarnji List newspaper that published her photo Friday.

Croatia's only female president, who served from 2015 until February this year, stressed that she is "always for life."

But she told the paper that that the times of women "sitting in a corner waiting for what the 'big boss' will say are over."

It's currently allowed until the 10th week of pregnancy; it's feared it will be made stricter, and some politicians were saying the woman would have to consult "her family".
