The Brits are barbaric by easing abortion, says Ana del Pino in CNE podcast

In a candid interview on the CNE podcast, Ana del Pino Graci Barrera expresses her shock at the overwhelming vote (379 against 137). “We are going to kill our kids until the moment of birth. Nobody seems to see this as a tragedy, but for me, this is a terrible, terrible situation.”

Ana is a prominent Spanish pro-life activist, connected to the NEOS Foundation and the European platform One of Us.

She is not afraid of using strong language like “infanticide”, although this refers to pre-historic barbarism. “This boy or girl can live already outside the mother. And we are killing that child. Well, that is infanticide.” Abortion is far from “salvation”, although it is presented like that, she says. “It is an ideology.”

Speaking to CNE podcast host Evert van Vlastuin, Ana describes the new law as an “attack” against kids, mothers, fathers, and civilisation in general. “The next step is that we kill them after the delivery. If this is easy, we will do it.”

She criticises the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) advice to remove all gestational limits on abortion, describing it as deeply troubling and dangerous.   

Ana struggles to understand how a mother can do such a thing just before delivery. “A mother killing her baby one minute before birth? And a doctor: what happened to his Hippocratic oath?”

She also questions why the child’s perspective is often ignored. The child’s pain is hidden from the public. “I know that some foetal pain research has not been carried out because it could reveal something sensitive regarding abortion.”

Ana warns that legal shifts, like the one in the UK, could pave the way for sex-selective abortions. “I am sure abortion laws will continually be liberalised. It is forbidden now, but it will grow.”

In the podcast, she speaks more about late-term abortions that are already taking place in Europe.

Ana disagrees with the argument that abortion has anything to do with women’s rights. As a Catholic, she says, she agrees with the woman’s right to control her fertility. “That is part of your responsibility. But once you are pregnant, it’s not only about you any more.”
