The approval of the abortion law on February 16 continues to cause great indignation among ultra-conservative sectors and the extreme right. Several congressional deputies from parties that voted in favor of this law received earlier this week hermetic bags with small plastic fetuses and fake blood along with a letter from the Right to Live platform, which includes associations such as Be heard.
At least several members of Podemos, EH Bildu and Ciudadanos denounced this action by the anti-abortion platform through networks. In some photos shared by Twitter, the hermetic bags with bloody fake fetuses are shown next to the letter that accuses the deputies of "fomenting prenatal violence and abusing the physical and psychological integrity of millions of women."
The platform, in its message, uses Article 15 of the Constitution as an argument, and also uses terms such as "dismemberment and sucking of babies" which, in its opinion, will benefit "abortion clinics, which profit from the pain of thousands of women and the shedding of human blood".
The author of the letter justifies sending the "specimen of a fetus of about 12 weeks"—as a "representation of the 90,000 Spaniards killed with the previous law"—to sensitize members of Congress.
"Perhaps by seeing this replica of a human being on a real scale, you can understand what the creature is like that you, with your vote as a deputy, allow to eliminate with a surgical procedure of extreme violence and cruelty," reads the letter.
Podemos deputy Javier Sánchez Serna has denounced that "the Right to Live beach bar, which responds to the El Yunque paramilitary organization, sends a bloody plastic fetus to all deputies and accuses us of multiplying the dismemberment of babies." "Is it understood why these crazy people had to be kept away from the clinics?"
The deputy of the EHBildu Bel Pozueta denounced that "the harassment of ultra-Catholic groups of women who decide to abort has not stopped despite being prohibited since April 2022." In addition, she has also announced a parliamentary question to find out what measures will be taken in this regard.
