VOICED : Espana restringe el derecho al aborto

The Spanish government, led by conservative President Mariano Rajoy, approved a controversial proposal to restrict abortion, allowing it only in cases of danger to the woman or rape. This marks a regression from the 2010 law that permitted free abortion within the first 14 weeks and up to 22 weeks in cases of fetal malformation or risk to the mother's life. The proposal has faced strong criticism from feminist groups and opposition parties, who view it as a setback for women's rights. The legislative change reverts to the 1985 law with more restrictions, eliminating the option to abort in cases of fetal malformation. The reform will be discussed in Parliament, where it is likely to pass due to the ruling party's majority.
