Spanish lawmaker Manuela Bergerot sharply condemned the use of women’s rights to justify the war in Iran, saying in a public speech, “You cannot defend women’s rights by celebrating the death of 160 girls.”

Her remarks came amid international outrage after an airstrike on a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, killed around 160 children — one of the deadliest civilian attacks since the conflict began.

Bergerot’s comment was part of a broader debate during International Women’s Day protests in Spain and across Europe, where many demonstrators linked peace, women’s rights, and opposition to military action in the Middle East.

Her stance drew strong reactions inside Spain and online, with supporters applauding the emphasis on human life and critics arguing that concern for women’s rights should not preclude support for opposition to Iran’s government.

A Missouri grandmother is fighting to pass “Bentley’s Law,” a bill that would require drunk drivers who kill a parent to pay child support to the victim’s surviving children. The measure is named after her grandsons, Bentley and Mason, whose parents and baby sibling died in a drunk driving crash in 2021.

If approved, payments would begin roughly one year after the offender is released from prison and continue until the child turns 18, or up to 21 if they are still enrolled in school. Similar laws already exist in Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, and Maine.

Supporters say the law would hold offenders more fully accountable while helping children left behind cover housing, education, and other basic needs — ensuring the loss of a parent doesn’t also mean financial hardship.
