Abortion Rights
Government seeks to enshrine abortion rights in Constitution without dissolving parliament

Spain's government is finalizing a constitutional reform to safeguard abortion rights by amending article 43 on health protection. This ordinary procedure avoids dissolving parliament and holding a referendum, but needs PP support to secure required majorities. The move counters pressures from the right, particularly in Madrid, where compliance with abortion laws is resisted.
