"We launched this platform (quierosermadre.org), for all those women who have doubts about continuing their pregnancy," says Pablo Mariñoso, a graduate in International Relations, from Washington.
"They deserve to have real information and real alternatives to be able to make responsible decisions about their pregnancy. Our website was created to accompany and offer hope to those who decide to continue with life," she adds.
Strengthening associations and meeting points
In addition, the platform arises with the aim of making visible and strengthening the work of associations and professionals who, for years, have been providing psychological, economic, legal and spiritual support to pregnant women in difficult situations. In fact, Mariñoso is in contact with practically all the institutions that support women in different ways, and they have shown their support.
On the other hand, the platform aspires to become "a meeting point in the pro-life movement, where health professionals, associations, journalists and the new generations can learn about the reality of abortion and its alternatives. And, above all, a safe place for all those women seeking support".
Practical encyclopedia
Pablo Mariñoso, coordinator of the platform quierosermadre.orgwho lives and works in Madrid, explains that there is no group or association, religious or otherwise, behind it. Before the web Quieroabortar.orgI thought that instead of supporting pregnant women, "it pushes them to the abortion cliff, I thought: we have to sell the opposite: quierosermadre.org".
"We have to think about those women who are pregnant and want to be mothers, and continue with their pregnancy. It has been three days of hard work, to build the website from scratch, with all the resources it has. The vocation of the website is to be a kind of encyclopedia of pro-life associations in Spain."
We are not going to do a new job, we are not going to replace what the associations are doing, he informs. "There is a pro-life map by provinces, there is a new tab with aids for maternity, both from the central and regional administrations. It is a great pro-life platform.
The Marches for Life
Mariñoso has been involved in pro-life activism for a long time, he knows and collaborates with many of the associations in Spain, without belonging to any of them, and he also knows American pro-life movements. "The website is not complete, it needs resources, more testimonies, articles, etc., and it needs to grow"...
How did the sensitivity for life arise in this young man from Madrid? "At home, when we were little, we used to go to the March for Life that has always existed in Madrid. Also encouraged by a person who passed away, Rafa Lozano, who was one of the driving forces behind the pro-life movement in Spain. These days I have been in contact with Alicia Latorre. I am now with a thousand calls. The pro-life associations are very grateful".
"There is such a thing as post-abortion 'trauma'."
Let's move on to a current issue in Spain. The creator of 'Quiero ser madre' explains that "abortion advocates use the euphemism IVE (voluntary termination of pregnancy). But there are many pro-life activists who are saying that a VTP is actually a violent intervention of pregnancy. These days there is talk of post-abortion syndrome. It's not exactly a syndrome. I wouldn't use the word 'syndrome. I would use the word 'postabortion trauma,'" she defends.
"I think there is a great struggle for all pro-lifers, to talk about the trauma that exists after abortion. Because the government has presented abortion as an administrative procedure. As a matter of 15 minutes, an innocuous matter. However, all women who have undergone an abortion know that it is an absolutely invasive and violent technique for the woman, which causes serious emotional wounds, if not directly physical".
What is abortion
"There are studies, there is evidence, of so many women who have had, as a result of their abortion, a trauma, a shockwhich has led to depression, anxieties, insecurity with their body, bleeding, etc. One thing the government website hides is what an abortion is. It explains that it can be surgical or pharmacological, but it doesn't go into anything else," says Pablo Mariñoso.
In surgical abortion "it must be explained that it consists of introducing forceps or a vacuum cleaner into the woman's uterus, to remove it in small pieces, aspirated. And the pharmacological abortion The idea of artificially medicating a woman to give birth to a stillborn child. trauma also. There is such a thing as post-abortion trauma, it has to be said clearly".
"Committed to life."
In case there was any doubt, quierosermadre.org We are committed to the defense of life in all its stages, motivated by the conviction that every human being has an intrinsic and inalienable value. We believe in the importance of promoting a culture that respects and protects the dignity of people from conception to natural death, working with passion and responsibility to form consciences in favor of life".
