Tens of thousands of men and women have marched to Spain’s parliament to protest against the government’s new law that aims to restrict abortion, making it possible for the practice only in instances of rape or severe danger to health.
Saturday’s rally in Madrid was organised by dozens of women’s groups and bodies that fight for reproductive rights.
Protesters carried banners saying “Enable mothers to make a decision” and “Mothers and fathers in freedom”.
The previous Socialist government manufactured abortion before the 14th week widely legal. But the ruling Well-known celebration has extended sided with the Roman Catholic Church on moral and social troubles and made modifying the law one of its principal guarantees in the 2011 vote that brought it to energy.
In December, justice minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón said that abortion will only be allowed in the case of rape or when there is a significant mental or physical wellness threat to the mom. Accredited fetal deformities that would endanger a child’s existence if born will also be accepted.
He also said sixteen- and 17-yr-olds will when once again have to receive permission from their mothers and fathers to have an abortion.
The bill, which have to be accepted by parliament, been fiercely resisted by opposition events as well as women’s groups across Spain who explained that it set back women’s rights to the dark days of the dictatorship of Francisco Franco.
