Spanish Parliament Urged Not to Loosen Abortion Law : 18th Nov 08
Representatives of various pro-life and pro-family organizations are urging Spanish lawmakers not to loosen Spain's already liberal abortion law. Family Forum President Benigno Blanco denounced the government’s plans to loosen restrictions on abortion in the country, stating that "it is an enormous injustice to abandon the child and the mother, and this is what the new free abortion law intends to do."
Blanco is urging the Spanish Parliament to implement a "plan for supporting pregnant women, in such a way that it isn't seen as an obligation to put forth abortion as the only solution to their problems." Eduardo Hertfelder of the Family Policy Institute (IPF), is also urging lawmakers to reform the law instead so that existing regulations will actually be enforced rather than allowing women to freely claim they have a "psychological risk" in order to obtain an abortion.
"Ninety-seven percent of women who obtain abortions use the excuse of psychological risk", he observed. LifeSiteNews.com.
