( June 13, 2014 ) Sextremists of the international movement FEMEN, have burst into the main altar of the Almudena Cathedral in Madrid to protest against the advance of Gallardón’s law about abortion in Spain, that is imposing a new measure where the woman who aborts is economically punished by a fine. Coinciding with the day in which the General Criminal Council meets to make a decision about our right to decide, the activists have chained to the crucifix of Juan de Mena of the altar under the slogan "abortion is illegal, let's take the altar". According to the new law, if they take our right to abortion and we have no clinics or hospitals where do it safely, we will return to obscurantism and hiding. This is why FEMEN proposes and encourages all Spanish women to assault its churches and its cathedrals, to recover by force what the government is removing by force: our right to choose! If they do not respect our freedom, do not respect their temples! A sacred place for a sacred right! We cannot wait any longer, we have to react to this Spanish State of the modern Inquisition. Torquemada would be proud of Gallardon, who has taken his relay, taking any pro-abortion woman as a criminal. Abortion is a right, women’s body is women’s freedom. This is just one step in our holy war for our rights! Thier crucifixes don’ t frighten us, nor your prisons, women will continue to have abortions legally or illegally. But we will not consider the second one! Abortion is sacred! IF ABORTION IS ILLEGAL, WOMEN WILL TAKE THE ALTAR! http://femen.org/gallery/id/327
