The proposed law would have allowed for the restriction of abortion to the cases of rape or severe health risks to the mother. The governments\u2019 plans had sparked massive protests from civil society in Spain and across Europe in the past months. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;\">The withdrawal of the draft law is a victory for the right of women to choose.\u00a0 It is an important signal for the rights of women not only in Spain, but all over Europe. It shows us what we citizens can achieve when uniting to step up for the defence of the rights of everyone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;\">AEDH defends a woman\u2019s right to freely and responsibly choose whether she wants to become a parent. For her to do so, appropriate services and support must be ensured as well as access to safe abortion procedures if she so chooses. We oppose any regulation that calls into question the ability of women to decide what is right for them and we will continue to fight against this restriction of freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span>See the joint press release of AEDH and its Spanish member APDHA mobilising against the draft law restricting abortion issued on the occasion of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aedh.eu\/For-8-March-international-Women-s.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Women\u2019s Day <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;\">Contact:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Dominique Guibert, Chairman<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;\">AEDH, European Association for the Defence of Human Rights <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;\"><a href=\"tel:%2B32%280%2925113200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a> Email : <a href=\"mailto:info@aedh.eu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">info@aedh.eu<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><span style=\"line-height: 115%; color: black;\">The European Association for the Defence of Human Rights <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"line-height: 115%; color: black;\">(Association Europ\u00e9enne pour la d\u00e9fense des Droits de l\u2019Homme &#8211; AEDH) consists of associations and leagues defending human rights in the countries of the European Union.
