One of the most repeated and infamous lies in the abortion debate is denying the humanity of the victims of this atrocity.
That lie was one of the foundations of the current abortion legislation in Spain, whose promoter, the then socialist minister Bibiana Aído, stated: "a 13-week-old fetus is a living being but it is not a human being". It was a radically unscientific statement that served to leave human beings unprotected in the first months of their prenatal age and turn a crime into a "right".
Yesterday, another socialist leader joined the already long list of anti-scientific statements by abortion promoters. In response to a statement by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who said that "106,000 people are aborted in Spain every year” during a debate in the Madrid Assembly, yesterday afternoon Pilar Sánchez Acera, secretary of the organization of the PSOE in Madrid, stated:
"To say that 100,000 people are aborted every year is miserable. They do not abort people, women who terminate their pregnancies do not abort people. Doctors who perform abortions do NOT abort people. I insist, it is miserable to say that."
This is not a joke: here you can read his message, which went viral yesterday and has received more than a thousand replies:
Decir que cada año se abortan 100.000 personas es miserable.
No se abortan personas, las mujeres que interrumpen su embarazo, no abortan personas.
Los médicos que practican interrupciones de embarazos NO abortan personas.
Insisto, es miserable decir eso. pic.twitter.com/iz0vr2Xcv6

The dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy defines "persona” (people) this way in its first meaning: "Individual of the human species". Thus, every member of the human species is a person, whether they are born or are in their prenatal stage. To claim that "people are not aborted" is as ridiculous as saying that women conceive non-human beings. What does Pilar Sánchez Acera suggest is in the womb of a pregnant woman? A baby chimpanzee, a platypus, or a cockatoo?
We are faced with a way of thinking that believes that a non-human being becomes human at a certain time or at the moment of birth, without there being any essential change in the being that explains this supposed transition that pro-abortion activists try to convince us of. What this thinking maintains is not science: it is a magical ideology that openly contradicts the scientific evidence about the beginning of human life.
Abortion promoters are capable of lying like this simply because it is inconvenient for them for people to know that abortion consists of ending a human life at its prenatal age, a fact that is not a religious affirmation, but something proven by science. The most astonishing thing is that there are media outlets capable of applauding these anti-scientific lies simply because they are part of their ideological creed, a creed based on a great falsehood that aims to hide what abortion really is in order to facilitate its promotion.
This is not the first time in history that an ideology has committed the perversity of contradicting scientific evidence to deny the humanity of certain human beings in order to undermine their rights. We've seen things like this in the past, like when slaveholders claimed that black people weren't people or when anti-Semites said that Jews weren't people. For some, "progress" means that an ideology still exists that denies the humanity of the weakest and defenseless human beings and then calls taking their lives a "right." What an aberrant idea of progress.
Finally, I'm very glad that Ayuso affirms that abortion kills 108,000 people a year in Spain. It's a great gesture on her part to vindicate the humanity of abortion victims. Of course, what is difficult to understand is that the president of the Community of Madrid is part of a party, the Popular Party, that does not protect unborn children, as its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, reaffirmed yesterday, and that when she governed she left intact the two socialist laws that have served to kill more than 3 million of unborn babies in Spain.
