Madrid, Spain, May 14, 2009 / 17:04 pm
The Spanish Alternative political party has demanded that the country’s government withdraw a measure that would allow the sale of the morning-after pill without a prescription, saying it “violates the right of parents to watch over the health of their children and endangers the health of girls and young women.”
“The decision of the government to distribute the abortion pills, usually known as the morning-after pill, without any medical controls, constitutes another step in the expansion of the culture of death,” the party said in a statement.
