Abstract

GERMAN-ZURRIARAIN, Roberto. PREPROJECT OF SPANISH CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ON ABORTION: IMPROVEMENT OR RETROGRESSION?. pers.bioét. [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.2, pp.119-137. ISSN 2027-5382.  https://doi.org/10.5294/PEBI.2014.18.2.3.

The paper addresses the Preliminary draft of the Spanish Constitutional Law on Abortion passed by the PP Government by the end of December 2013. The approved preliminary draft has opened a debate within the Spanish society which, according to some, was closed. Indeed, for some, this draft of the Constitutional Law is not necessary because the deadline law had been accepted and not disputed, and, in addition, it suppresses the right women have to decide on their pregnancy; for others, however, it is indeed necessary, as the unborn human being is not legally protected in the current law. Nevertheless, it is my opinion that this Preliminary draft does not sufficiently protect the disabled human being.

Keywords : Abortion; constitutional law; preliminary draft of law; pregnant women.
