BY LifeSiteNews.com By Matthew Cullinan HoffmanMADRID, July 19, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Spanish region of Valencia will be requiring women to learn about fetal development and abortion before they proceed with the latter, according to the Spanish newspaper El Pais.Mothers who want to end their unborn children's lives through an abortion will be required to receive written information about abortion, and will also receive ethical counseling that will include videos, photos of abortions, and even 3-D sonogram images regarding the development of the fetus, according to a spokesman for the Valencian government.The socialist administration of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, which currently controls Spain's executive branch, has expressed its opposition to the Valencian program.  Valencia is led by the People's Party, the primary opposition party in Spain.Zapatero's General Secretary for Equality Polices, Isabel Martinez, has called the measure "coercive" and says she will monitor its application, while the General Secretary of Health, José Martínez Olmos, is threatening to challenge the law in court.The Spanish Parliament recently approved a new abortion law that permits the deadly procedure on demand during the first 14 weeks of pregnancy, and allows minors to receive abortions against their parents' will.  It is currently being challenged before Spain's Constitutional Tribunal and one Spanish bishop is openly calling upon the faithful to resist the law.Previous LifeSiteNews coverage:Spanish Archbishop Urges Defiance of New Abortion Law: 'This Law is no Law' http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/jul/10071401.htmlChilean Chamber of Deputies Condemns Spain for 'Despicable' New Abortion Law http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/jul/10071901.htmlSpain's New Abortion on Demand Law Takes Effect Amid Controversy http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/jul/10070602.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/spanish-region-to-show-sonogram-images-to-mothers-seeking-abortions/
