The PP has asked the Senate to veto the abortion law. On December 27, it registered an amendment to veto this rule, which is being processed in the Upper House, in addition to amendments to its articles, which thus join the 180 that have been presented among all groups, according to Europa Press. Feijóo’s party, with the amendments that it has presented, intends to eliminate the register of objecting professionals, end the possibility of abortion for minors under 16 or 17 years of age without consent or recover the three-day reflection period for women who go to abort and that the information given to them about the process is obtained verbally and in writing.

The abortion law will pass its first examination in the Equality Commission of the Chamber on the 2nd, so the term for amendments to the rule has already closed, although amendments agreed upon by various groups –transacted– may be presented so that are voted on in this Commission. This body will have to vote on two veto amendments presented by PP and Vox to remove the rule from the agenda, something that, foreseeably, will not come out with the majority of the Senate.
In addition to these items, the PP wants to eliminate sick leave due to disabling menstruation. According to the party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, these are “harmful” for women at work. They also want articles related to research on menstrual health or the distribution of free contraceptives or feminine hygiene products in public centers to be removed.
Likewise, those of Feijóo propose excluding articles related to the training of professionals and actors who participate in this practice or those that are related to sexual education in schools.
The registration of this veto amendment as well as its subsequent debate take place in a context of controversy over the anti-abortion measures of the vice-president of the Junta de Castilla y León, Juan García-Gallardo, including listening to the heartbeat of the fetus or performing 4D ultrasounds.
This Monday, the Castilian and Leonese president has maintained Vox’s anti-abortion measures, while affirming that they will not be mandatory, because that would be “direct and indirect coercion of the pregnant woman” which, he said, “will not promote nor to protect”. Meanwhile, García Gallardo has stressed, however, that listening to the fetal heartbeat will be offered to women who are clear that they want to abort.
The amendments that the groups have presented are in line with those that had already been brought to Congress and there are other amendments related to regional powers in this matter.
