Law on Sexual and Reproductive Health
No Comments
In public debate there are issues that generate a special interest and why not say, a particular concern among society. The legislation on abortion is one of these issues that touch the fiber of thousands, perhaps millions, of Spanish and so we go into this matter avoiding false demagoguery and fallacious arguments. We understand that whether or not to an action (intervention) of this type is framed largely in the private sphere, but it can not put aside that which regards the public, more specifically, which is strictly related to the legal field that we wish to change.To place we must say that the Draft Law on Sexual and Reproductive Health, which was approved this week in the Senate, seeks to replace the present legislation in establishing the circumstances under which it is permissible to terminate a pregnancy, for a time which, in the first fourteen weeks of gestation, the woman leaves this decision without any medical causes concur.
In this case there is much to be nuanced, but especially serious and intolerable is that a law of this kind is born without sufficient consensus. There you have it or organs of popular representation, or society. In fact, a few days ago platforms Right to Live and Become Hearing filed in Congress more than a million signatures collected around the country against this legislative reform. Indeed, the 54% of Spanish have said they disagree with law. Furthermore, just reading the preamble based on the Government to propose a host of inconsistencies are to be discussed here shelling. First, the executive said that this reform is to bring our regulatory framework to the international community. As explained by Professor and Academician of the Royal Academy of Jurisprudence and Legislation Rafael Navarro-Valls in a detailed legal study of this law, this “right to abortion” is not recognized in any international treaty signed by Spain.
This project keeps away from the arguments laid down by the Constitutional Court and establishes a system of dates that is consistent with our Constitution, since it means the resignation of the State to protect the unborn. We must say loud and clear that everyone is subject to mandatory four distinct phases: the embryonic (fetal), childhood, youth and old age (maturity). All of them need to be protected without exception.
Moreover, contrary to what has been argued from the socialist ranks, the system to be implemented is not largely accepted in our environment. In fact, two out of three European Union countries always require the concurrence of reasons for undergoing an abortion.
Finally, we can only say that truth has nothing to do with democracy, which is what gives legitimacy. Sometimes coincide, sometimes not, and this may be a case in which one has nothing to do with the other. In other words, this law has legitimacy, but not reason.Possibility Related Posts:
