Abortion, Francisco Franco, and Palestine are wild cards that Pedro Sánchez uses recurrently uses to mobilize his electorate and fracture the right, pushing it into arenas where the left is comfortable. Although those in the People's Party, as well as in Vox, are aware of this strategy of the Spanish president, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, does not shy away from these issues and continues her crusade on abortion. Her refusal to create an internal—not public—registry of conscientious objectors to performing abortions has already led to... the warning this weekend from the Ministry of Health under Mónica García They would go to court, as confirmed this Monday by the Spanish Prime Minister himself, Pedro Sánchez: the national government will take the Community of Madrid to court for refusing to create the register of conscientious objectors. In a message on the social network X, Sánchez indicated that the executive branch will request this Monday that the State Attorney's Office file an administrative appeal before the High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM): "We will defend the rights of the women of Madrid in the courts." The response from the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, was swift, and she labeled Sánchez a "dictator." "We will defend the right of professionals to conscientious objection. Only a dictator can force them to do what they don't want to do," she wrote in a message to X.

Spain today has a central role in the international anti-gender agenda for two reasons: on the one hand, local movements such as Opus Dei, Make Yourself Heard, CitizenGo, and Vox preserve the Catholic legacy of Franco's regime and, on the other hand, have been able to export their strategies to Europe, Latin America, and even Africa. In just a few years, the State has become a laboratory for the global ultraconservative offensive that targets everything that points to diversity, whether it be the rights of LGBTIQ+ communities, the abortion one or the battle against sex education. These are the conclusions of a report that has promotedAssociation for Sexual and Reproductive Rights, signed by several researchers who have analyzed cases such as Spain, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Kenya.

In 2024, 106,172 voluntary terminations of pregnancy were reported to the State, a figure that represents a 3% increase compared to the previous year and a record in the history of this benefit, which this year celebrates forty years. In these four decades, there have been attempts to reduce the criteria, and in the 2011 PP reform, abortions for young people between the ages of sixteen and eighteen were conditioned by parental authorization. However, in 2023, the Spanish government of Pedro Sánchez passed a modification in which returned autonomy to minors Furthermore, it eliminated the imposed three days of reflection before abortion, which met the long-standing demand of feminists who criticized the measure for infantilizing women. However, none of the amendments have managed to end the territorial inequalities in access to abortion, a right guaranteed in the health services portfolio, nor the dependence on the private sector. Some regional governments also refuse to open the mandatory registry of objecting doctors, which is useful for planning teams and ensuring that no center is neglected due to a lack of professionals.
