President Rajoy, who, according to the sources consulted, has gone so far as to affirm that they are aspects that "are in the DNA of the PP." It will take several months The text approved by the Council of Ministers is still only a preliminary draft, which must subsequently become a bill, approved again by the Council of Ministers, and which will finally be sent to the Cortes for debate in Congress and the Senate. . Until it becomes a bill, the Ministry of Justice will proceed to request new reports, and above all it will ask the opinion of advisory bodies , such as the Council of State. The process for the final draft will still take several months, according to the sources consulted by ECD, and during that time the proposed changes and improvements will be introduced . The case of malformations The same sources find it very difficult to include a new case of abortion, that of malformations in the fetus, because, among other reasons, it raises a problem of discrimination due to illness . And there is a recommendation from the United Nations to Spain to eliminate that possibility. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, in its sixth session, held from September 19 to 23, 2011, specifically analyzed how the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons was being complied with in this country. people with disabilities, signed by Spain.
A report was prepared in which, in the third section, entitled “Main reasons for concern and recommendations”, the committee took note of the abortion law of 2010 (law 2/2010, of March 3, 2010, on health sexual and reproductive ), which allows abortion during Phone Number List the first 14 weeks, and includes two cases in which the deadlines for abortion are extended if the fetus has a disability: up to 22 weeks of gestation when there is a "risk of serious anomalies in the fetus", and after 22 weeks of gestation when, among other things, "an extremely serious and incurable disease is detected in the fetus". The Committee recommended to Spain, and has conveyed it to the Government, “to eliminate the distinction made in Law No. 2/2010 regarding the period within which the law allows a pregnancy to be terminated for reasons of disability exclusively.” A government project Regarding the content of the current draft prepared by Justice, the sources consulted explain that its content responds to the criteria of the Popular Party (which included it in its electoral program), the ruling of the Constitutional Court , and the appeal itself presented in the TC by the PP against the abortion law of 2010. An appeal that was signed, in first position, by Mariano Rajoy and Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría.

They add that, although the weight of the drafting has been carried out by Justice , the text has been prepared together with the Ministries of Health and the Presidency. Regarding the vice president's alleged reluctance, in addition to the fact that she signed the appeal before the TC, it is highlighted that the preliminary draft has been approved in a council of ministers that was precisely chaired by Sáenz de Santamaría, because Rajoy was outside of Spain. Support from another parliamentary group Sources from the PP leadership say that the president of the Government and the party, Mariano Rajoy, has set himself the objective that this law has the support of at least one other parliamentary group in the Lower House. According to these sources, with the current text “that seems impossible,” and for that reason, “ negotiations can begin on the basis of a series of modifications .” In the next meetings of the Council of Ministers, work will be done on the changes to be introduced in the initial text and on the amendments that will subsequently be debated by the Popular Group in the Congress of Deputies. In the national Executive on Tuesday, Mariano Rajoy confirmed to the party leaders and regional barons that he would ask Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón to include modifications to the text of the abortion law. In this sense, the President of the Government made the following announcement: “The draft law will include changes before being presented to Congress for parliamentary processing.
