was going to write something against the proposed reform of the Abortion Act passed by the Equality Commission, to vote against the PP and in favor of the PSOE, IU, ERC, BNG, etc. I was going to write that is an outrage that should not be conflict between the rights of the child and the mother. More when it also excludes the father, and when proposed that girls of 16 years to dispense with any parental consent.
But I recognize that when I sit down to write on this subject I feel a deep disappointment. We have long been talking about it. For years we argued about the human condition of the zygote. We centuries arguing that the concept of pre-embryo is as valid as further saying that the sun revolves around the Earth. We argue, we literature, we order and reason to the shouts and insults. We discussed the terms and conditions in the legal field do not respond to current realities. To say that an embryo is not until the fifteenth day of development, or claim to be a disorganized mass of cells no structure or support that is not human, it is not recognizing the biological facts or want to understand embryonic development. However, many doctors and scientists accept these proposals without any problem. And we always find them dead ends, the same false debate and the same emotional arguments whether it's abortion and embryonic stem cells.
Over recent years I have found participating in forums or reading more about these issues and can not seem to get out of a circle that blends science, religion, ethics, philosophy and politics in varying amounts and indiscriminately . That, in the best as normal as it end up getting a dose of several insults. I wonder, then, what is the reason for that passion, that delirium which takes deny that observed for desired. I think the fundamental debate is not abortion or stem cells. Be important not just explain the situation. Rather I think it's right to choose, the right of self above all, the right to have no limitations whatsoever on what is at stake. That is, the old theme of freedom, rights and duties. The old theme of our limits. I think that only from this perspective we can understand what is being discussed goes beyond abortion or the rights embryo. I'm not walking away from the real debate. I'm just putting it in perspective. I think it's important to remember that a debate on human embryos and their rights can not be argued from positions in relative or unscientific. Some would argue that it is not permissible to raise it in religious terms when many citizens position themselves as atheists.
And despite all this, the debate takes place in an obscure commission without other consideration, without developing all the information so that citizens know what they are talking and having at hand the appeal of the disqualification and insult If someone deems otherwise. The debate on the rights of the human embryo than in much the strict parliamentary debate and can not be reduced to a set of exchanges of dubious arguments. But go ahead without hesitation. Did not have imposed moratoriums on other issues when you do not want to enter the debate or when there is reasonable doubt?
This reform of the Abortion Act does not address the problems created by the law. Neither answered the question of increasing abortions in Spain (100.000 in 2008). It's just one more step to answer the question posed earlier. One step further to say that our happiness will be complete only when we have no restrictions.
And yet, something tells them that this is false. Something tells them they are wrong. If not why defending abortion so vehemently, with so much passion, especially by those who call themselves defenders of the spirit and relativize all ideological position?

in doubt, choose to keep running forward. No moratorium worth in this case.
