The High Court of Justice of Madrid has ordered the Community of Madrid to "immediately" begin the procedures for creating a registry of conscientious objectors to voluntary terminations of pregnancy, a list mandated by law and approved by the Interterritorial Council (comprised of representatives from all autonomous communities). The ruling by the eighth section of the court's administrative chamber is a further step in the ongoing dispute between the government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and the Ministry of Health, headed by Mónica García, which has resisted establishing a registry of professionals who refuse to perform abortions. In fact, the judges upheld the precautionary measures requested by the Ministry. The court specifies that although the precautionary measure does not require the Community of Madrid to create the registry immediately, it does impose the obligation to initiate the necessary administrative procedures to develop and approve it, in compliance with current regulations. However, she justifies the decision as a way to "combat the passivity" of the Madrid administration, since she believes there is a "risk of delay" and that the Ayuso government will try to "indefinitely prolong" the creation of the list.

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.
