Pro-family activists in Spain demand plan to increase birthrate

Madrid, Spain, Jan 8, 2007 / 08:20 pm (CNA).- The president of the Institute For Family Policy in Spain, Eduardo Hertfelder, said last week the drastic decline in child births and the increase in abortions that have left Spain with the lowest birthrate in Europe require urgent action on the part of the government.

“This situation, which can truly be classified as an authentic social catastrophe, requires the development of a National Plan of Support for Childbirth,” Hertfelder stated.  

Such a plan, he added, should be based on several fundamental principles, including an increase in public and private aid and the creation of health care centers for pregnant women, as well as increased tax breaks and low-interest loans for families with children.
