Pedro Sánchez gives three months to the autonomous communities that do not yet have the registration of objectors that established the reform of the abortion law with the objective of knowing how many professionals are available in public hospitals to guarantee the right to voluntary interruption of pregnancy. The president of the Government has sent a letter to the presidents of Aragon, Asturias, Balearicas and Madrid urging them to comply with the regulations.
“I address you with the intention of helping to overcome obstacles that, unfortunately, continue to find many women in our country who decide to exercise their right to voluntary interruption of pregnancy,” said Sánchez in the letter in which he recalls that the corresponding autonomous communities have not yet regulated or created a record of people of consciousness, as established by the reform of the law of abortion two years ago. In December of last year, the Interterritorial Health Council approved a protocol for the development of said records.
“This registration is an indispensable tool to be able to ensure that there is a sufficient number of medical professionals who ensure access to this right in public hospitals,” explains the president of the Government, who has taken advantage of the controversial standard approved in the City Council of Madrid by PP and Vox, which aims shield it as a fundamental right.
Sanchez remembers the socialist Adrián Barbón and the popular Jorge Azcón, Marga Prohens and Isabel Díaz Ayuso that the creation of the registry is “mandatory.” “Respect for the right to conscientious objection should not be, in any case, an impediment to the effective access of women to the voluntary interruption of pregnancy in the National Health System, whatever their territory,” says Sánchez.
