Today marks four decades since the passage, on July 5, 1985, of the first and monstrous abortion law in Spain.
That law continued to classify abortion as a crime but decriminalized it in several cases: serious risk to the physical or mental health of the mother, rape, and fetal malformations. Theoretically, these should have been exceptional situations, but the law became a legal loophole because of the assumption of the mother's mental health, an assumption for which no justification was required, which horrendously boosted the abortion rate.
Furthermore, today marks another sad anniversary: that of the entry into force of the 2010 abortion law on July 5 of that year. This law was approved by the socialists of the PSOE, like the one in 1985, and turned what until then was a crime into a "right" within certain time frames: 14 weeks for all abortions and 22 weeks in the case of the unborn baby having any malformation. This also monstrous law has served to consolidate the culture of death in Spain, contributing to normalizing something as horrendous as the act of killing unborn children (I mention both sexes because many feminists seem to forget that abortion has already killed many girls).
It should be noted that although both abortion laws were approved by the PSOE, the Popular Party did nothing to repeal them during its governments (1996-2004 and 2011-2018), not even when it had an absolute majority (2000-2004 and 2011-2015). With this, the PP became co-responsible for the validity of these monstrous laws. Let us also remember that, betraying the discourse that the party itself had maintained, in February 2023 the current president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, assumed the socialist thesis of abortion as a "right".
Regarding the scale of abortion in Spain, and according to official data published by the Ministry of Health, between 1985 and 2023, 2,862,621 unborn children were murdered in Spain. Considering that in 2023 (the latest official figures available to date are for that year) 103,097 induced abortions were perpetrated in Spain, we will have already surpassed 3 million unborn children murdered. Based on this figure and taking into account the fact that in Spain in 2023, 48.66% of newborn babies were girls, we can conclude that abortion laws have killed approximately 1.46 million unborn girls and 1.54 million unborn boys.
It should be noted that Spain surpassed the figure of 100,000 abortions and the rate of 10 abortions per 1,000 women in 2006, with 101,592 abortions and a rate of 10.62. The abortion rate has not dropped below 10 per 1,000 since then, although between 2014 and 2022 abortions fell below the 100,000 barrier, mainly for two reasons: demographic reasons (there are fewer and fewer young people in Spain due, in large part, to legalized abortion itself) and due to the legalization of the abortion pill, which serves to disguise the real abortion figures.
On the other hand, and as I already pointed out here, according to official data 1,757,164 unborn children have been murdered in 24 years of socialist governments of the PSOE, the party that promoted the two abortion laws. Of these, 379,871 of them were murdered during the coalition governments of the PSOE and the communists, first those of Podemos and now those of Sumar, which support the pro-abortion theses even more radically than the PSOE. Likewise, 1,105,457 unborn children were murdered in 12 years of Popular Party governments, a party that has shown no concern about this.
I don't want to conclude these lines without repeating my absolute rejection of the cynical euphemisms used to disguise this atrocity. These are not "interruptions," it is not a "right" or a "choice": it is the cruel act of killing an unborn baby in the womb. One day we will feel as much shame for having consented to this as many countries now feel for having consented to slavery.
