Overview

• Moncloa announced it will seek a constitutional reform to protect abortion rights, citing France’s 2024 amendment as a model.
• The Health Ministry plans an urgent change to Royal Decree 825/2010 to block false or coercive information in counseling for those seeking abortions.
• The proposal requires three‑fifths majorities in Congress and the Senate under Article 167, and the Partido Popular has rejected it, leaving the votes short.
• Health authorities warned they may act against regions that fail to ensure effective access, as data show stark territorial gaps and unimplemented objection registries.
• Accredited clinics call the constitutional step largely symbolic without enforcement and resources, while the Spanish Contraception Society says it could bolster equitable access.
