Portugal about to vote on the legalisation of abortion

On Sunday, February 11th, Portugal will hold a referendum on the legalising of abortion. José Antonio Teixeira, the daily's Editor-in-Chief, looks back on the campaign that has unfolded over the past few weeks. "Public debate, which mobilised numerous political and social forces, has had the advantage of questioning the principles of civilisation that belong to us. ... In the political battle and in the arguments advanced, a fundamental cleavage has become clearer: religion. The campaign was essentially divided between those who consider themselves rooted in the country's Catholicism and those who proclaim secularism. This is not an ultimate fracture, because there are Catholics who will vote 'yes' and defenders of secularism who will vote 'no', but the dominant tendencies stem from this cultural positioning. ... What happens after the referendum will depend on the meaning we attach to our response. But for the time being, what counts is to vote, whether 'yes' or 'no', with our hearts, souls and consciences."
