Overview

• Moncloa will bring a constitutional reform to include the right to abortion, which would make Spain the second country after France to enshrine it if approved.
• The Government will urgently amend Royal Decree 825/2010 to prohibit false or misleading abortion information and require an objective scientific basis aligned with WHO and APA standards.
• Madrid’s mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida now says the alleged post-abortion syndrome is not scientifically recognized and any counseling will be voluntary and set by municipal professionals.
• The city council motion is non-binding and could be left without implementation, though PSOE signals it may pursue legal action arguing the measure affects women’s rights.
• The PP backed the Vox motion and then reversed course within 24 hours under internal discomfort, while Vox defends keeping the information mandatory.
