The secretary of the organization Pro-Life Youth of Valencia (Spain), Juan Rivera, denounced the State and society for their “de facto protection of abortion,” saying, “Its hypocrisy to speak about human rights and at the same time pay no attention to those who walk down the street with their hands stained with blood.”
In an interview about the inaugural conference for pro-life youth in Spain, Rivera said, “Our society needs to wake up and defend life with all of its consequences. That’s why we decided to organize the conference, because we believe the youth must awaken our country’s conscience.”
“It’s not true that young people are asleep,” he continued. Rather, they have become conveniently enslaved to consumerism and to entertainment, “and thus when we say something that rings true we are ignored.”
Likewise, Rivera pointed out, “If a society does not protect life, it destroys itself, and since this is about our future, we want to avoid this.” “We want to “free ourselves of a future without hope” which some adults are proposing, “and to do that we need to start at the beginning which is defending the right to life of everyone.”
