Long as the market continues going up we Americans really could care less who is in charge. Meanwhile in another country with a different culture more than one million people are protesting?

More Than 1 Million At Madrid Anti-Abortion Rally: Organizer
MADRID (AFP)--More than 1 million abortion opponents marched across Madrid on
Saturday to condemn government plans to allow women as young as 16 to terminate
pregnancies without their parents' consent.

The government is moving to liberalize the abortion laws in the
overwhelmingly Catholic country.

Organizers said 600 buses and several planes were used to bring the
supporters of 42 Spanish anti-abortion and Catholic associations to the capital
for the protest, which is also backed by the conservative opposition Popular
Party and the Roman Catholic Church.

The protesters began the one-mile march across central Madrid under warm
sunshine in a fiesta atmosphere behind a giant banner reading "Every Life
Matters."

Others carried red and white banners or flags saying "For Life, Women and
Motherhood" and "Women Against Abortion" and "Madrid 2009, Capital of Life."

Tens of thousands more gathered in the Plaza de Independencia, the final
destination of the marchers, where loudspeakers blasted out pop music.

The proposed abortion law, approved by the cabinet last month, would allow
the procedure on demand for women of 16 and over up to the 14th week of
pregnancy, and up to 22 weeks if there was a risk to the mother's health or if
the foetus was deformed. Women could also undergo the procedure after 22 weeks
if the foetus had a serious or incurable illness.

The existing law introduced in 1985, a decade after the death of right-wing
dictator Francisco Franco, only allows abortion under more limited conditions.

The proposed new legislation, which is based on laws in place in most other
EU countries, is to be debated in parliament in November.

The demonstration "is not just aimed at the withdrawal of the new law, the
basic message is that the debate will continue as long as there is a single
abortion in Spain," Benigno Blanco, the head of the Forum for the Family, one
of the organizers, told the conservative newspaper ABC.

Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has defended the reforms, saying
the state should not "intervene in the free and private decision of a woman,
who is the one who has to take on the responsibility of a pregnancy during her
entire life."

Zapatero has passed a series of sweeping liberal social reforms since coming
to power in 2004 that have angered the Roman Catholic Church, including
measures to legalize gay marriage, allow for fast-track divorces and give
increased rights to transsexuals.

One pro-life group, HazteOir (Make Yourself Heard), said abortion opponents
also planned demonstrations Saturday in front of Spanish embassies in other
countries, including Italy, France, Poland, Ireland, the U.S., Nigeria and in
several Latin American nations.
