Controversy in Spain by the new abortion law

The English government has recently launched more than a week the process for legalizing "abortion on demand" up to 14 weeks of gestation, and for all women from 16 years of age.

This controversial initiative, which was presented yesterday by the Socialist administration through the Ministry of Gender, seek to decriminalize "in full" the practice of abortion in Spain, regulated in 1985. And it could generate another storm front with the Catholic Church.

"No woman undergoing an abortion may be punished with jail," said Minister Bibiana Aido yesterday, at the conclusion of the report to be approved today by the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, before being sent to Parliament. "With this proposal we guarantee to women who decide to terminate her pregnancy she can do so freely and legal certainty within well defined limits and assumptions, "said the official, noting that the law will also encourage" prevention through sexual and emotional education, and contraception. "

This project was driven by 6 months ago the government and discussed by a committee of recognized experts in favor of abortion, suggests that the ultimate decision of termination of pregnancy fall more on women than on the physician involved, unlike the current law .

In this way, abortion is "free" in that regard until the fourteenth week of pregnancy, although it is expected there is a "reflection period" for 3 days for women to consider changing his mind and move on with her pregnancy. The time limit for abortions was maintained until 22 weeks of pregnancy in the case of malformation in the fetus, but the committee proposed to postpone this limit until the last days of gestation. The 1985 law also allows the termination to the twelfth week if the pregnancy is caused by rape.

passed, the legislation will force public hospitals to refer to a specialist unit for women seeking abortion, so that the right of doctors to conscientious objection does not lead to pregnant to perform this operation at a private clinic.

This last point, together with the possibility of pregnancy is allowed girls from the age of 16 without the consent of their parents, was being resisted by the sectors that oppose the decriminalization of abortion.

In this sense, the group Students for Social Awareness (UCS) demonstrated yesterday outside the Faculty of Law, Complutense University, where he read a statement in which he denounced "the inaction of politicians to the violation of human rights, especially the "little guy." Organizers announced the launch an anti-abortion campaign with giant posters placed on the sides of buses. "Why you can be born and I, we're all equal. Abortion is not" be read into this propaganda.

Blanco called the practice of abortion as a "structural violence against pregnant women sexist." For the moment, abortion is legal in Spain only three cases: rape (up to 12 weeks), fetal malformation (until 22) and serious risk to physical or mental health of the mother (without term). A law of deadlines mean that the woman could abort without benefit to any of these three cases to a particular week of gestation. Something that for some sectors, would conflict with the Constitution because, they say, women's rights prevail over that, theoretically, have the unborn.
