Spain drops abortion reform law

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The controversial abortion law that would have sent Spain back to the days of Franco has been dropped. PM Rajoy’s office has admitted that due to lack of internal consensus it’s unlikely to be passed in this legislature and can be considered shelved. It’s a humiliating blow to the extreme conservative wing of the PP, under Justice Minister Alberto Gallardon (he used to be Mayor of Madrid), but Spain has united in defence of women’s Continue reading Spain drops abortion reform law→

Currently, women have the right to abort on their own decision up to 14 weeks, or 22 weeks if doctors detect an abnormality in the foetus, or if the mother’s mental state or physical health is endangered. Under this new law, abortion is not permitted unless two Continue reading Womens rights go backwards as Spain bans abortion→

It appears, to judge from the irate posters over on arboleas.co.uk (link) that someone with sticky fingers and a large van emptied the InStorage warehouse in the Almanzora valley. As the owner of the business appears to have, ahem, “returned to the UK for personal reasons”, rumours go from the nave owner recouping his unpaid rent, to the owner deciding he needed a nestegg back in the UK, to someone spotting that all these lovely Continue reading In Storage warehouse emptied→
