The imminent new secretary of State of Equality, Angela Rodríguez, has asked this Saturday why any disease, from an episode of gastroenteritis, “generates labor rights” as the possibility of taking a low, and instead difficult menstruals, which cause each
Month for some vomiting women, headache and inability to lead a normal life, “in no case has generated labor rights.”
Rodríguez, familiarly known as ‘PAM’, has intervened at a discussion table on ‘sexual and reproductive rights’ that has been held within the so-called Autumn University of We can, 10 days after the former Secretary of State of Equality,
Noelia Vera, announced that he leaves politics and that the rapporteur, until now adviser from the Ministry and Secretary of LGTBI Rights of the Executive of We can, will be succeeded in his government office.
It has also been asked why “it has been assumed” that women have to take responsibility for contraception by taking the pill and not men, and, after praising the Equality of Aged Bibian Socialist Equality, it has indicated that it is “clearly a problem”
That nine out of ten abortions are practiced in private clinics, something that attributes that the PSOE “did not dare to shrink abortion as a more provision of the National Health System.”
In his second turn, Rodríguez has augured “a very hard battle” with the government’s socialist part in the coming months around obstetric violence, which we can pretend to be considered as gender violence because, in his opinion, too ”
There is macho violence in hospitals “, who suffer women” because they are women. ”
Before she, the MEP Mary Eugenia Rodríguez Palop has focused on attacking the extreme right and “pro-a few lives” because “Sacralize the traditional family where the father is the owner and the mother ownership and a reproductive machine to the service
of the family and the nation. ”
In this line, he has defended the law of terms and his “gradation” of abortion, where the fetus is gaining rights as it develops, and has denied that it is eugenic and discriminate against people with disabilities.
As has said, “are the laws of cases truly eugenic” for allowing abortion of embryos and not others, and sector organizations were positioned against them and not against the general abortion of embryos with malformations.
This, in his opinion, “was an invention of (the Existing Justice, Alberto Ruiz) Gallardón”.
Finally, he has underlined that “conscientious objection (against abortion) is an individual right, not institutions and hospitals.”
Before, the deputy at the Assembly of Madrid and expression of the Institute of Women, Beatriz Gimeno, had also interpreted that preventing abortion supposes that “for nine months we have no control of our body, which is put at the service of something else: the
Homeland, patriarchy, society, family “.
According to this approach, during pregnancy, “the woman is not recognized as a subject of full right, she autonomy is suspended,” and are converted into “second citizens”.
Moreover, Gimeno thinks that “the right to abortion challenges some patriarchal social order,” hence the cultural battles that generates.
