Spainish Parliament Approves Abortions Up to 14 Weeks, 22 in Some Cases

The Spanish Parliament today approved legislation to legalize abortions through 14 weeks for any reason and 22 weeks in some additional cases. The cabinet of the Spain government, headed by President Rodriguez Zapatero, has proposed a bill that would expand abortions and legalize them up to the fourteenth week of pregnancy. The vote in the 350-seat Congress of Deputies was 184-158 with one abstention, according to an AP report. The measure now goes to the Senate, which is expected to approve the pro-abortion bill early next year. LifeNews
