This is, above all else, a victory for the women's movement in Spain!
An extraordinary thing happened in Spain yesterday. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy officially abandoned plans to overhaul the nation’s laws that would have restricted access to safe and legal abortions.
Hours later, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, the justice minister behind the
bill that sparked massive demonstrations at home and condemnation
abroad, resigned.
Thousands of people march to protest a government plan to limit abortions in Madrid on February 8, 2014.
