Others slogans were “Those who do abortions are murderers” and  ‘Yes to life, no to abortion. ”

The Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy promised before his election in 2011 to tighten the legal framework for abortion, but withdrew the bill in September due to heavy criticism even within the party itself.
