Law/Patents - Law (general) / abortion laws
Spanish term or phrase: convencionales
Durante las sesiones de la Convención Constituyente del 2 y 3 de agosto de 1994, algunos convencionales fundaron sus posiciones de oposición al aborto en discursos sobre el inicio de la vida para mostrar cuándo comienza la vida y cómo el inicio de la vida está regulado en los instrumentos internacionales de Derechos Humanos, cómo podría estar protegido por medidas de acción positiva y cómo se relacionan con las regulaciones civiles y penales vigentes en el país. Otros convencionales fundaron sus posiciones de oposición al aborto en discursos sobre el aborto como un asesinato de niños perpetrado por su madre, una guerra contra los niños y un atentado contra la paz. Otros convencionales fundaron sus posiciones de oposición al aborto en eventos históricos

Explanation:
Information from an encyclopedia (www.es.wikipedia.org)
"Una Asamblea Constituyente es un organismo de representantes colegiados elegidos por el pueblo, dotado para ello de plenos poderes o poder constituyente al que deben someterse todas las instituciones públicas.
Una convención constitucional es un encuentro político, que tiene como objetivo redactar una constitución nueva o revisar una ya existente. Se realiza una convención constitucional general para crear la primera constitución de una entidad política o para sustituir una pre-existente, mientras que una convención constitucional limitada se realiza para revisar una constitución ya existente."
"A Constitutional Assembly is an organisation (group) of representatives (members) elected by people from a town, intending to allocate rights or constitutional authority to which all public institutions must be submitted.
A Constitutional Assembly is a political meeting, with an objective of drafting (creating) a new constitution, or to revise an existing one. A general constitutional convention takes place in order to establish the new constitution of a political entity, or to replace an existing one, while a limited constitutional convention takes place in order to revise an already existing and established constitution."

Example sentence(s):
  • Algunos convencionales fundaron sus posiciones de oposición al aborto en discursos sobre la vida para mostrar cuando comienza la vida. Otros convencionales fundaron sus posiciones de oposición al aborto en discursos sobre el aborto como asesinato.
  • Some representatives based their reasoning for opposing abortion on speeches about the beginning of life to show when life begins. Other representatives based their stance opposing abortion on discussions about abortion as assassination of the unborn.
