Overview

• The plenary approved a Vox initiative with PP support on Sept. 30 requiring permanent verbal and written notices in Madrid Salud centers, Espacios de Igualdad, Samur Social, and on official websites and printed materials.
• PP amended the text to replace “syndrome” with “trauma” and to require a legal‑services review of the content, while a bid to remove the term “obligatory” was not accepted.
• Vox councillor Carla Toscano promoted the measure by listing alleged mental‑health harms from abortion, claims presented without supporting evidence in the session.
• Opposition councillors and medical voices said there is no recognized diagnosis for a post‑abortion condition and argued research links mental‑health risks to unwanted pregnancy and obstacles to care.
• PP official José Fernández characterized the stance as pro‑life and pro‑natal, called abortion “a failure,” and emphasized acting within the law.
