Madrid, Spain, Dec 8, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The association Doctors for Life, a group of mainly doctors and medical students from the Autonomous University of Madrid, has convened a massive protest against abortion for this Saturday, December 11.
Doctors for Life, a recently founded organization with the objective of defending the right to life from conception to natural death, together with other pro-life organizations in Spain, has begun organizing pro-life marches, until now unheard-of in the country.
Last October 22, more than 10,000 people participated in a pro-life march in front of the Spanish Socialist Party’s headquarters in Madrid.
This Saturday, the march will take place near the country’s Department of Health.
According to organizers, “Abortion centers claim, twisting the law, that any unwanted pregnancy poses a risk to the psychiatric health of the mother. Judges and lawyers are indifferent to this systematic violation of abortion laws, dismissing any lawsuits or complaints that have been brought forth in this area.”
