Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz Gallardon announced the changes to the current statute, which return in a 1985 law and will only allow abortion under 2 conditions:
- If the baby presents a risk to the health of the mother
- If the pregnancy was the result of rape.
This new law means the elimination of possibility aborting if deformations of the fetus are detected and curtailing women's rights.
The effects of this legislation come to the European Parliament and in the streets of Brussels on a demonstration with two thousand people.
Protesters carried banners in many different languages ( French, Castilian, English and Italian).
Other demonstration come to France (about 5.000 people). Protesters thinks that ultraconservative government presents a law will be intolerable for spanish and European society backward.
Protesters carried banners, which says: "No interference of the cruch in the bodies of woman", "Solidarity with the Spanish"...
In my opinion, PP's legislation removes woman's rights only for ideological causes as have glad Church and conservative voters. I believe Law set Spain back socially by decades because of the majority in the parliament of Popular Party and also don't consider the majoritu of citiziens who are against.

I think this topic requires a lot of reflection and the government have rushed an amendment to the law just for electoral purposes.
