As the Spanish government pushes a pro-life proposal to roll back some of Europe’s most pro-abortion laws, extreme feminists are upset. They showed their anger over the weekend by hurling objects at Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela as he attempted to enter a local Catholic Church before Mass on Sunday.

AFP has a report on what happened:

Five topless protesters swooped on Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela as he got out of a car to attend an evening mass at a church in central Madrid.

They hurled red-stained knickers at the cardinal, who they say is one of the forces behind the conservative government’s planned abortion reform.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s government announced in December it would roll back a 2010 law that allows women to opt freely for abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.

The bill has caused division within the ruling Popular Party and has not yet been sent to parliament.
