Remember the post a few weeks ago about the video of an abortion in Barcelona, Spain? Well, that just tore it for abortionists in that country. Now about 40 Spanish clinics have gone on strike. The New York Times reports:

The strike could affect as many as 2,000 women, according to Francisca García Gallego, a regional director of the Association of Accredited Abortion Clinics, which organized it. She said striking clinics, which account for a majority of abortions in the country, would accept only emergency cases…Ms. García said the central government had done nothing to protect abortion clinics or patients from a wave of aggressive protests by anti-abortion campaigners and raids by the local authorities that resulted in a dozen arrests in December.

Of course, Ms. Garcia doesn’t mention that the abortion-clinic raids were triggered when government did do something to force abortionists to obey the law:

The raids followed the arrest in December of Carlos Morín, a gynecologist who ran a group of clinics in Barcelona and who was secretly filmed by a Danish journalist apparently agreeing to her request for an abortion in her seventh month. Dr. Morín is in jail, according to local news reports.

While talking this around at WORLD, someone mentioned that perhaps Spanish abortionists — striking en masse as they are — should form a union. My first thought: Yuck. My second thought: What would an abortionists’ union call itself?

Another question: What would happen if U.S. abortionists went on strike?
