Spain's Proposed Abortion Reform Draws Opposition from Catholic Church
RH Reality Check: The Church Battles Reforms in Spain's Abortion Law, by Angela Castellanos:
A draft of Spain's reformed
abortion bill has ignited the Catholic Church, which called its congregation as
well as the Catholic politicians to vote against the bill even though it has
not yet been submitted to Congress.
The bill reflects the recommendations of the Spanish parliamentary commission, which for six months examined the effect of Spain's restrictive abortion laws. Last February, the parliamentary commission proposed a reform decriminalizing abortion in Spain so abortion would be removed from the Penal Code and included under the sexual health regulations.
