The Government believes minors should have their parents’ consent in order to terminate a pregnancy
The Government wants to make it obligatory for minors to have their parents’ consent in order to terminate a pregnancy.
Popular Party Justice Commission spokeswoman Beatriz Escudero told press the aim was to return to the 1985 law, which would decriminalize abortion in only three cases: risk to the physical and psychological health of the mothers; serious malformations in the foetus; and violation.
