Undang-undang baru akan menyekat hak wanita untuk membatalkan, hanya membe-narkan prosedur dalam kes-kes rogol dan apabila terdapat ancaman yang serius kepada kesihatan. Pada masa ini, undang-undang Sepanyol membolehkan wanita untuk memba-talkan tanpa sebarang sekatan sehingga 14 minggu kehamilan.
Di samping itu, di bawah umur akan dikehendaki mendapatkan persetujuan daripada ibu bapa mereka untuk membatalkan, sesuatu yang telah dibatalkan di Sepanyol pada tahun 2010.
Kerajaan telah berkata ia percaya undang-undang semasa terlalu liberal dan rang undang-undang baru ini akan memberi “pertahanan kedua-dua untuk melindungi nyawa anak dalam kandungan dan hak-hak wanita”.
Kumpulan hak asasi manusia mengecam bil sebagai tidak perlu. Di bawah undang-undang semasa bilangan pengguguran di Sepanyol menurun sebanyak 5 % peratus pada tahun 2012, menurut statistik yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan.
Pakar sakit puan dan jurucakap bagi kumpulan itu ‘Kami membuat keputusan,’ Isabel Serrano memberitahu saluran kakak Sepanyol RT ini, Actualidad RT, rang itu adalah “besar set – belakang” dan mengambil Sepanyol di luar konteks Eropah.
Serrano seterusnya berkata bahawa rang undang-undang tidak akan mengurangkan kadar pengguguran, sebaliknya, wanita mungkin untuk menjalankan prosedur yang “haram” dan dalam “keadaan lebih buruk”.
The new legislation would restrict women’s right to abort, only allowing the procedure in cases of rape and when there is a serious threat to health. Currently, Spanish law allows women to abort without any restrictions up to 14 weeks into pregnancy
In addition, minors would be required to get consent from their parents to abort, something that was abolished in Spain in 2010.
The government has said it believes the current law is too liberal and the new bill would provide “defense both for the protection of the life of the unborn child and women's rights”.
Rights groups have slammed the bill as unnecessary. Under the current law the number of abortions in Spain decreased by 5 percent in 2012, according to statistics released by the Health Ministry.
Gynecologist and spokesperson for the group ‘We decide,’ Isabel Serrano told RT’s Spanish sister channel, Actualidad RT, that the draft bill was an “enormous set-back” and takes Spain out of the European context.
Serrano went on to say that the bill will not reduce abortion rates; instead, women are likely to carry out the procedure “illegally” and in “much worse conditions”.
