DEMAND FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN SPAIN Spanish activists will be taking a stand on reproductive rights in Brighton this weekend. On Saturday (1st Feb) Marea Granate (a group which organizes with the sole purpose of UK solidarity with other countries and the debunking of immigration stigma) will be doing a solidarity march with Spanish activists against a new abortion bill being brought before parliament there. The proposed new law will severely restrict women's rights to have an abortion. In fact the legislation will prevent abortion in all cases except rape or severe danger to the mother's life. The protest starts at 2 pm at Churchill Square Here's a link to the event - https://www.facebook.com/events/1403400493243864/?ref=22 Events for this are taking place in four countries (England, Germany, France and Italy) go here for the London march https://www.facebook.com/events/443706625757112/ This is what they had to say: “The 1st of February, trains depart from all over Spain (and one from France), carrying prochoice campaigners to Madrid, where they will hand Spanish MPs the text ‘Because it’s my choice’. The right of Spanish women to access safe and legal abortion is currently under threat with the proposal to reform the law in a highly restrictive fashion by Spain’s ruling party, the Partido Popular. “
