The abortion law builds on legislation passed in 2010 that represented a major shift for a traditionally Catholic country, transforming Spain into one of the most progressive countries in Europe on reproductive rights. Spain's constitutional court last week rejected a challenge by the right-wing Popular Party against allowing abortions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
The debate will be heated in Spain, I imagine, as the conservative opposition pushes back. My daughter had horrible menstrual pain during her adolescence and young adulthood. I'm certain that she would have benefitted from that time.
I care about Children too and it seems democrats only want to discuss a shooting when it involves certain schools and people.
When it involved children or large amounts of people it's headline news. Every day murders and shootings are so common place, it's barely a blip on the news or worthy of discussion unless it's person. One of our housekeepers was killed by gunfire by her boyfriend and it barely made the news here.
Anyway, it's not fair to categorize the concern only is for mass shootings. Democrat Mayors and the Biden administration are struggling to control the record levels of gun violence, gun trafficking and some are calling it a public health crisis, including the non-partisan AMA and Surgeon General.
Republicans seize on this violence as a campaign issue and failure of the Democrats. Even the Heritgage Foundation is calling it a Public Health Crisis.

Interesting evolution, there. I used to live in Boston. Back in the 70's, Boston had a serious problem with escalating gun violence particularly among underclass and working class youth. At the time, our state public health agency was headed by an ER doc who suggested approaching the problem as a public health issue. (Needless to say, she didn't keep her job for very long.)
Fast forward to one of the many discussions on AN on gun rights in the 2000's. When I suggested a similar concept, it was roundly rejected by conservative users because it might involve keeping records on who owned which gun(s). I wonder if azhiker has changed her mind, yet.

Republican didn't really want the CDC to treat gun violence like a public health issue for years.
tions legislation. The provision prohibits the use of federal funds to advocate or promote gun control.
With public interest in gun issues heightened after a series of notorious mass shootings and widespread student protests, Congress reached a compromise in passing an omnibus spending bill in March 2018. The Dickey Amendment has not gone away, but a report accompanying the spending bill clarifies that the amendment does not prohibit federal funding of research on the causes of gun violence. This compromise may help reduce the Dickey Amendment's chilling effect on gun violence research, but it remains to be seen whether more funding will actually be devoted to such research.
Firearm violence is pervasive, with more than half (54 percent) of U.S. adults or their family members having experienced a firearm-related incident in their lives. Over the last decade, the number of people who have died from firearm-related injuries, including suicides, homicides, and accidental deaths, has been rising, and firearm violence is now the leading cause of death among children and adolescents.

All of Trump's rhetoric has not lead to 2 attempted assinations in less than 9 weeks.
Although you found it important to highlight Obama's race, birth certificates and ethnicity have nothing to do with eachother. Did someone try to assinate Obama because if the requested proof of birth?
That's the past but currently we have democrats and left media openly calling for and/ or encouraging potential radicals in 2 different assassination attempts in the last 9 weeks. The current POTUS who said " put Trump in the bullseye" days before a bullet grazed Trump's ear and killed an innocent man.
In your opinion Trump's violent and divisive rhetoric hasn't led to 2 assassination attempts.
I gave your examples of Trump's long term racist and divisive language. You reply by asking a stupid question about Obama. You should have looked that up before you made yourself appear triggered.
I'll give you credit for trying so very hard to lay these assassination attempts at the feet of democrats. If only you could come up with liberal rhetoric that came anywhere near the divisive and hateful stuff that spews from Trump.

Of course. I'm refering to far left democrats. Not you.
I'm not convinced that stricter gun laws would have prevented these attempts or some school shootings. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be restricted or more restricted. I care about Children too and it seems democrats only want to discuss a shooting when it involves certain schools and people. Then it seems they completely ignore inner city shootings completely which kill far more children then school shootings do. I'm bias but the difference to me is one helps them politically and the later doesn't. "Kind of selective caring for certain children. Thoughts and prayers and don't look over there". Shameful.

Stop trying to gas light us about gun violence and the political responses in our country.

When did Trump's "violent rhetoric " single out and specify a person and classify them as an "existential threat that needs to be eliminated" and "put in a bullseye" resulting in 2 assination attempts against a Democrat in less than 9 weeks?

I gave you examples of the violent extreem language used by democrats which includes, " Trump needs to be put in the bullseye ", " existential threat that needs to be eliminated ". " they're still going to have to put a bullet in Trump". " I'd take him behind the bleachers and beat the hell out of him".
All In which you completely disregard and call my question " stupid".
You still haven't provided an example where Trump's rhetoric was specific to one person, calls them a threat and to directly eliminate them. For 7 yrs then has 2 assasination attempts in less than 9 weeks.

I'm sorry Twwety. I do not see the same urgency from the democrats when in reference to the gun violence in inner cities that often includes young black men and children.
One might point out that school shootings seem to matter more than inner city gun violence then note the racial demographic of each.

I wouldn't expect you of all posters to pull a race card. But yeah, inner city violences happen to them and not us.
For a self-described person in the middle of issues, you sure don't like Democrats and their issues do you?
However, fair enough maybe not the same urgency as they take advantage of a mass shooting to spread their message.
I do believe Democrat mayors and the President are really struggling with gun violence in their cities and the country. Certainly the general public does seem more outraged when it's a mass shooting. I've said before how number we are. There are thousands of gun murders and some barely make a blip on the radar. I've talked about this before.
Certainly conservatives have made crime an issue and many times I see on Fox News about crime in "Dem Run Cities".

No kidding? Yes. You gave a few examples which pale in comparison to Trump's rhetoric.
Yes, your question about assassination attempts on Obama was stupid and irrelevant to Trump's attachment to violent rhetoric.
You don't think that an image of Joe Biden hogtied in the back of a pickup is specific to one person? I'm not playing your games, getting more and more specific to scratch your weird itch.
You want to ignore Trump's unprecedented rhetoric and point fingers. I'll let you. It's what I expect.

How do you suppose these 2 wannabe assassins were radicalized to the point in which they decided to try and kill a former POTUS and presidential candidate? Two attempts in weeks?
Are you speculating the 2 MAGA cult members tried to kill their own leader?
How do you think some people with possible mental health issues would process......
"Trump is is a existential threat that needs to be eliminated", " we need to put Trump in a bullseye".?
Trump told lies and that encouraged some of his supporters to cause a riot on Jan. 6. What he didn't do is isolate a specific person and make statements to eliminate them and put them in a bullseye. Then have MSM and Republicans repete that troph in unison. And no one attempted to assinate a democrat on Jan. 6 or anytime because of Trump's speech. That included "peacful and patriotic".
