With all this talk going on about Catalan independence I thought it might be prudent to bring up the abortion law in Spain. Spain is a pretty modern European country, so whatever abortion law we find here we can expect to be pretty reasonable. Women can abort in the FIRST trimester. If they abort in the second trimester it has to be for serious health risks or fetal defects. If a 16 or 17 year old girl gets an abortion, one of her parents has to be notified. (unless it is believed she is in an abusive family situation) Before the abortion, the woman has to be informed of public benefits available should she have the child. There's also a 3 day waiting period.
When ya can't answer those INCONVENIENT questions and posts in other threads start yet ANOTHER silly thread . Here's another inconvenient question to not answer : Why is it "prudent" to discuss the abortion law in Spain?
Wow - who would have ever guessed that a country that is 70% Catholic might have restrictive abortion laws? It's a miracle.
It's not really 70%. About 60% percent of Spaniards who describe themselves as "religious" are very half-hearted about it, if they ever attend church at all.
Have you come up with a point to this thread yet? Or can I expect a world tour of abortion laws??? With STILL no point or purpose.
