This law was approved by the socialists of the PSOE, like the one in 1985, and <strong>turned what until then was a crime into a \"right\"<\/strong> within certain time frames: 14 weeks for all abortions and 22 weeks in the case of the unborn baby having any malformation. <strong>This also monstrous law has served to consolidate the culture of death in Spain<\/strong>, contributing to normalizing something as horrendous as <strong>the act of killing unborn children<\/strong> (I mention both sexes because many feminists seem to forget that abortion has already killed many girls).<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that <strong>although both abortion laws were approved by the PSOE, the Popular Party did nothing to repeal them<\/strong> during its governments (1996-2004 and 2011-2018), not even when it had an absolute majority (2000-2004 and 2011-2015). <strong>With this, the PP became co-responsible for the validity of these monstrous laws.<\/strong> Let us also remember that, betraying the discourse that the party itself had maintained, in February 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2023\/02\/09\/feijoo-se-une-a-las-tesis-proaborto-del-psoe-y-dice-que-una-ley-de-plazos-es-correcta\/\">the current president of the PP, Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o, assumed the socialist thesis of abortion as a \"right\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the scale of abortion in Spain, and according to official data published by the Ministry of Health, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/09\/29\/not-interruptions-2-86-million-abortions-in-spain-explained-without-euphemisms\/\">between 1985 and 2023, 2,862,621 unborn children were murdered in Spain<\/a>. Considering that in 2023 (the latest official figures available to date are for that year) 103,097 induced abortions were perpetrated in Spain, <strong>we will have already surpassed 3 million unborn children murdered<\/strong>. Based on this figure and taking into account <a href=\"https:\/\/datosmacro.expansion.com\/demografia\/natalidad\/espana\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the fact<\/a> that in Spain in 2023, 48.66% of newborn babies were girls, we can conclude that <strong>abortion laws have killed approximately 1.46 million unborn girls and 1.54 million unborn boys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that <strong>Spain surpassed the figure of 100,000 abortions and the rate of 10 abortions per 1,000 women in 2006<\/strong>, with 101,592 abortions and a rate of 10.62. The abortion rate has not dropped below 10 per 1,000 since then, although <strong>between 2014 and 2022 abortions fell below the 100,000 barrier<\/strong>, mainly for two reasons: demographic reasons (there are fewer and fewer young people in Spain due, in large part, to legalized abortion itself) and due to the legalization of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infocatolica.com\/?t=noticia&cod=7257\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the abortion pill, which serves to disguise the real abortion figures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/09\/29\/not-interruptions-2-86-million-abortions-in-spain-explained-without-euphemisms\/\">as I already pointed out here<\/a>, according to official data <strong>1,757,164 unborn children have been murdered in 24 years of socialist governments of the PSOE<\/strong>, the party that promoted the two abortion laws. Of these, <strong>379,871 of them were murdered during the coalition governments of the PSOE and the communists<\/strong>, first those of Podemos and now those of Sumar, which support the pro-abortion theses even more radically than the PSOE. Likewise, <strong>1,105,457 unborn children were murdered in 12 years of Popular Party governments<\/strong>, a party that has shown no concern about this.<\/p>\n<p>I don't want to conclude these lines without repeating my absolute rejection of the cynical euphemisms used to disguise this atrocity. <strong>These are not \"interruptions,\" it is not a \"right\" or a \"choice\": it is the cruel act of killing an unborn baby in the womb.<\/strong> One day we will feel as much shame for having consented to this as many countries now feel for having consented to slavery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks four decades since the passage, on July 5, 1985, of the first and monstrous abortion law in Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10732],"tags":[10430,641,693,7841,11462,16942],"class_list":["post-60133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life","tag-abortion","tag-partido-popular","tag-psoe","tag-podemos","tag-spain","tag-sumar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60133"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60133\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
