Spain's new registry for stillborn babies sparks debate
www.euronews.com
Babies who die before birth - but had a gestation period of more than six months - must be registered and can have a name in the Spanish civil registry. Feminists say it's a frontal attack on women's right to abortion.

    This is challenging - I’m torn between both perspectives, but ultimately, it just seems nice to the grieving parents. I guess to a degree, I trust that this isn’t the start of clawing back abortion protections, which might be naiive of me

      Same. I hadn’t even thought of the other angle originally tbh. Kinda sad that we always have to be so alert to the nefarious things that a change in legislation could lead to.

        We are famously bad at recognizing long term implications though. - you’re among many :)

          Rent control good example of looking term implications. Unfortunately governments and voters do not look much past their term.
