No to the request for reform of the Abortion Law

The request made by the abortion clinics so that the Abortion Law is amended and an interruption of pregnancy can be carried out until 24 weeks of gestation, has generated diverse opinions and attitudes, but we highlight above all the total negative by the Spanish Association of Pediatrics.

This request stems from the various abortion associations that request that the Dutch model be established in which it is possible to terminate the pregnancy until week 24 in a free and free way. The current law only contemplates the possibility of abortion not exceeding the limit of 12 weeks when it is a violation and 22 weeks when it is found that the fetus has malformations. The only exception that even contemplates abortion at any time is when the future mother may suffer from some psychic or physical illness that may cause her problems. The Spanish Association of Pediatrics believes that this attitude is basically an infanticide. The abortion associations believe that it is necessary to decriminalize abortion and even praise the work of doctors and specialists who are engaged in abortion and sometimes violate the laws, such as the last cases we have been able to know through the media, for example the one that made known to us the digital newspaper El País.

A future baby who has 25 weeks of gestation can develop perfectly and can be compared with premature newborns, in fact, there have been cases of births with that time of gestation that have come forward and since they have been born are considered as Babies born within the appropriate period. This fact would show that performing an abortion for no reason in that period can be perfectly comparable to infanticide.

Why do we have to hurry so much? What is the criteria for requesting the decriminalization of abortion? Is there no respect for human life? We will not deny that there are cases in which abortion may be a force majeure, but many others are subject to other interests or harms, decriminalizing abortion would only increase "infanticides" and children's rights would be seriously harmed.

We have been able to know on several occasions and through the media, the situation that newborns live in other countries such as China, most have crossed out this barbaric action, since the decriminalization of abortion could be compared to this attitude.
