MADRID, October 12, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - According to Spanish Equality Minister Bibiana Aído, unborn human children are not human beings.
In response to a formal inquiry made on the subject of abortion by a Spanish parliamentarian, Aído said last week that "the Government cannot share in the affirmation that the interruption of a pregnancy is the elimination of the life of a human being."
"Having an abortion does not suppose that a human life is terminated, because there does not exist a unanimous opinion regarding the concept of a human being ... because 'human life' refers to a complex concept based on ideas or beliefs that are philosophical, moral, social, and ultimately, subject to opinions or personal preferences," added Aído.
Aído's statement was made in response to a question posed by Carlos Salvador of the Union of the People of Navarra (UPN) party, who was in turn responding to Aído's claim that "a country is not worthy if even one person is suffering mistreatment."
Salvador asked, "Do you or do you not consider the elimination of the life of an unborn human to be an act of mistreatment?" and also asked: "If the act of aborting involves the elimination of a human life, unique and unrepeatable, on what ethos do you base your argumentation for accepting, as a woman's right, the worst mistreatment that can be done to a human life, which is its elimination?" Aído's response was issued almost six months later.
Salvador says that he plans to "ask for explanations for this thesis," which he called “hallucinatory,” in a plenary session in the Spanish Parliament tomorrow.
Spain's government, which is currently led by the Spanish Socialist Worker's Party (PSOE) under Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, recently reformed the country's abortion law, permitting adolescents as young as 16 to obtain abortions for any reason, without their parents' consent. The law is seen as a contributing factor to the PSOE's plummeting approval rating. Recent polls have indicated that a substantial majority of Spaniards plan to vote against the party in this year's parliamentary elections.
This is the logical outcome of moral relativism.

Apparently neither is the "Equality Minister". Why did he make this statement? Is he hungry or something?!?
“Killing a Spanish Equality Minister does not suppose that a human life is terminated, because there does not exist a unanimous opinion regarding the concept of the humanity of a Spanish Equality Minister ... because the ‘human life’ of a Spanish Equality Minister refers to a complex concept based on ideas or beliefs that are philosophical, moral, social, and ultimately, subject to opinions or personal preferences,...”
These creatures are called "opportunistic walking suits". Eventually we must figure out how to phase that particular species out.
Yes it is human. It is scientific to say its human too. To say it could be anything other than human is just plain retarded.
Yep...it is the result of moral relativism and pure EVIL.
Hmmmm...if they are not human....could they be giraffes?
Yeah , and Hitler thought children as old as 2 could be killed(aborted?) due to the fact they were reliant on their parents for food etc. He compared Humans to Farm animals. People call it relativism. I call it barbarianism.
As if it were a matter of a consensus...how european. How dissolute.

Well, I guess as long as anything other than an objective scientific set of criteria is used, anyone can say that human life is or isn't whatever they want, as long as it is convenient to say so.
Quite. I find myself wondering, does the Equality Minister feel then, that her mother, in light of how the daughter turned out, would have been justified in terminating her when pregnant? Moral relativism means only one thing, ultimately. No morals at all.
That hard fact that preemies as young as 5 months of term have survived does not require an opinion to validate their humanity.
It is unfortunate for the unborn babies in Spain that this woman’s mother was not as rabid about abortion rights as this woman is.
We always reach this conclusion too late, though. No do-overs on letting an Equality Minister live.
I hope my boss, the Spanish Battleax, doesn’t see this. She might just up and die.
God's opinion is unanimous.
