Spanish abortion clinics on strike

Health centers that provide abortions in Spain are on a week-long strike as part of an effort to change the law.

They say women and doctors should have better legal protection. The strike is expected to affect up to 2,000 women.

Police raided abortion clinics in Barcelona and Madrid late last year.

Most abortions in Spain are carried out under a law requiring a doctor's diagnosis that the pregnancy poses a risk to the woman's mental health.

Spanish doctors, who started strike action on Tuesday, want the law changed in line with many other European countries, where a woman can choose to have a termination within the first three months of pregnancy.

Okay, I'm clearly sympathetic to doctors who provide abortions and think that the law should be changed as well so that they're not harassed--but is this the best way to create change? What about the women who won't be able to access services?
