Are Women's 'Rights' in Spain Truly 'Rights'? ๐ The Reality of Abortion and Varying Regional Temperatures
Shocking news that abortion in Spain is not an 'absolute right' has truly broken my heart. ๐ The reality of abortion differing based on one's region of residence feels as though rights are determined by a map. Why are sensitive and crucial rights like sexual and reproductive freedom applied differently to each woman?
Hello everyone! Today, I was prompted to reflect deeply after reading an article about the reality of abortion in Spain. Encountering this news, I was reminded anew of how precarious even things we take for granted as 'rights' can be. ๐
Not an 'Absolute Right,' but an 'Ambiguous Right' ๐บ๏ธ
According to the article, the reality of abortion in Spain varies by region of residence, and it is difficult to consider it an 'absolute right' today. It's a situation where a woman's rights seem to change depending on where she is on a map. Can this truly be called a 'right'? ๐ง
A Woman's Body and Mind, and the Experience of Pain ๐
The article includes the story of a woman who experienced several miscarriages. She desperately wanted to become a mother, more than anything in the world, but due to repeated miscarriages, she cried, blamed herself, and suffered profound pain. ๐ข
It is even more poignant because these were experiences of desperately wanting a child, not of terminating a pregnancy due to an unwanted situation. The pain she must have endured, under the name of 'abortion' or amidst the difficulties of accessing abortion, while trying to cherish her body and nurture a child, is almost unimaginable. She states, "My greatest hope was pregnancy. I devoted and sacrificed my body." This makes me reflect once again on how delicately decisions about a woman's body and life must be handled.

Sexual and Reproductive Freedom Must Be Guaranteed Equally ๐
This reality faced by women in Spain demonstrates that the highly sensitive and personal rights of 'sexual and reproductive freedom' are not being equally guaranteed to all women. Why must some women face an easy reality while others face difficulties? Don't we all deserve to enjoy the same rights?
What Can We Do? ๐ค
It is important to contemplate these issues together and consider what voices we can raise to create a better reality. A woman's right to health and her right to self-determination are paramount. I believe our attention and solidarity can bring about change.
