Feminists call on Basque institutions to disobey

The decision of the Government of Spain to limit women’s rights is being controversial by the Spanish Executive. The feminist movement in Euskal Herria has asked the regional administrations not to implement the reform, arguing that this removes women the right to decide.

In the multitudinous appearance of December 31 at the Hospital de la Cruz, members of the feminist movement explained that legal reform turns women into “passive victims”. They consider them to be “subjects who do not have the capacity to decide”. If the law were amended, drug abortion would be illegal. That is, to interrupt pregnancy with the pill. To denounce this ban, the feminists present in the concentration carried out a pill in their mouths. Thus, they criticized the illegalization.

Convened by different groups, on December 27th and 28th, enclosures and repulse concentrations were carried out in Bilbao. They shouted slogans such as “Right to Abortion” and “Abortion, Free and Free”, among others, those opposed to the Reform of the Abortion Law that the Government of Spain wants to do.

About 70 people tried to be locked up at the Hospital de Cruces in Bilbao, but the Ertzaines threw them "with great violence", according to the same sources. One of the people was identified and detained, accused of "resistance", as reported by the Basque Department of Security. In Pamplona, the Hospital Virgen del Camino involved Elena Lakabe, a member of the Commission for Abortion of Navarra. He denounced the reform of the abortion law and advocated the right to decide, the right to decide. “Only the rich will be able to abort in good condition. It’s a shame.” For this reason, he asked the neighbors to go to the streets to carry out a police operation. Several people stayed outside the building despite not letting them spend the night at the Donostia Hospital in San Sebastian.

Protests to stay on the net

Opponents have opened a blog on the Right to Abortion abortatzekoeskubidea.blogspot.com.es with the aim of criticizing abortion reform and organizing protests in Catalonia. The event received calls for mobilizations, as well as photos and videos of the protests.

In addition, they have created the Facebook page Right to Abortion and on Twitter the user @Abortion Eskubideak. On Twitter, they have asked citizens to use the hashtag #Abortatzeko Eskubideak (Right to abortion). Among the users, the #Abortualibre label has also been extended.
