Overview

• With its absolute majority, the PP approved a Vox motion requiring municipal services to inform women about alleged post‑abortion effects.
• The PP amended the text to replace the term “syndrome” with “trauma” and added a requirement for prior review by the council’s legal services.
• The measure mandates verbal and written information that is permanently visible in Madrid Salud, Equality Spaces (CIAM), Samur Social and social services, as well as on official websites, posters and brochures.
• Left‑wing councilors and health professionals dispute the premise as not medically recognized and cite research indicating mental‑health risks relate more to unwanted pregnancies than to abortion.
• PP official José Fernández framed the party as pro‑life and called abortion a failure, while Vox’s Carla Toscano listed severe harms without providing evidence, drawing sharp criticism from the opposition.
