Five Femen members were arrested in Madrid yesterday after disrupting an anti-abortion march. The topless activists blocked the demonstration and shouted slogans like, "My standards, my body", and, "Abortion is sacred". The Christian groups taking part in the march didn't like that very much and responded by trying to spray the protesters with red paint, before police stepped in to break up the scuffle.
