Josep Miró, coordinator of the Assembly of Associations for Life, Freedom, and Dignity, said that this march serves “to build the society of life and a new future where we join forces for the purpose of acting together.”
Regarding the changes to the abortion law approved by the government’s executive branch, Carmen Fernández de la Cigoña, director of the Center for University Studies’ Institute for Family Studies, lamented that the authorities “want to make us see it as moral that 16-year-old girls can go get an abortion without their families knowing about it, the people who love them the most and care about them the most.”
The reform of the abortion law was approved on May 17 by Spain’s Council of Ministers. Among other things, the bill would allow girls ages 16 and 17 to get an abortion without parental consent.
The bill goes next to the Congress of Deputies (lower house) for debate and a vote, and then on to the Senate.
Fernández de la Cigoña said the government wants to change reality and say that “killing is good and compassionate” while “caring, praying, helping those who need a helping hand is instead bad.”
“You cannot decide who lives and who dies or push society to do so. Because every life matters,” she said.
