SPAIN: OVER 20 THOUSAND PEOPLE ADHERED TO THE CAMPAIGN "THE RIGHT TO LIVE"

Over 20 thousand people adhered to the manifesto launched by "The Right To Live", the platform promoted by HazteOir, in six days. HazteOir is an association born to express the opinions of the people on many current affairs, such as the right to live. The initiative in favour of life was also successful on the Web: in six days, 103 blogs adhered to the platform "The Right to Live" (http://derechoavivir.org/) by including their sites in the banner of the campaign. Many people also accessed the site presenting the platform "The Right to Live": just on 26th September, for instance, there was a peak of 31,082 pages visited. Moreover, twenty-four associations for human rights adhered to the initiative. The last one communicating its support, on Sunday 28th September, was "Convivencia Civica Catalana". In the meantime, the Independent committee of experts established by "The Right to Live" started works, which would culminate in the presentation of three reports on abortion under the juridical, bio-medical and social point of view. This workshop is made up of sixteen jurists, scientists, physicians and activists supporting women who are victims of abortion. The reports will also be submitted to the government and parliamentary groups, to let the society and legislators know the reality of abortion and its implications with due rigour.
