The government Popular Party (PP, center-right) proposes to reform the law regulating abortion in Spain to prevent minor terminate her pregnancy without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.
The parliamentary group popular today posted its bill in Congress to fulfill its electoral and respond to a “social consensus” program, according to his spokesman, Rafael Hernando, who said the goal is to be approved no later than the end of March.
An initial draft prepared by the Ministry of Justice, provoked a strong political and social controversy, which led to its withdrawal from the government and the resignation of Minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, last September.
The proposal was to allow abortion only in cases of rape or physical or psychological harm to the mother, compared to the current standard, adopted by the Socialist government in 2010, which permits abortion whenever the intervention takes place within deadlines.
In addition, the standard of 2010 under 16 and 17 may abort without informing their parents, if they allege coercion or threats in the home.
In the text filed today, the PP, which has a majority in the House, proposes that minors who want an abortion will need “besides the manifestation of his will, the consent of the holders of parental “.
This proposal is not only the reform of the abortion law in 2010, but the law governing patient autonomy and rights and obligations.
During an appearance before the media, Hernando said the group is submitting the proposal, and not the government, because it also has legislative capacity.
PP spokesman in the House denied that his group within discrepancies about changing the abortion law, since it was part of the electoral program, and furthermore, announced the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, on September 23, when he resigned the then Minister of Justice.
