Abortion is a right that the law must protect against the conscientious objection of doctors, most public hospitals


In the Congress of Deputies, a far-rightist had just called a deputy who defended to penalize the harassment suffered by women who are going to abort at the doors of clinics, when in this program we came face to face with a painful reality, that many may have been unaware of, and that adds even more pain to the process of having to undergo an abortion.

Marta told us about her journey after one of the largest public hospitals in Madrid denied her the possibility of an abortion despite the fact that her pregnancy posed a serious risk to the fetus and herself.

Not a gynecologist from that hospital, the Clinic, wanted to practice it because everyone accepts conscientious objection, everyone.

She told us that many are welcomed for ideological reasons, but then there are others who do so because they do not see themselves or are stigmatized or punished in their job.

Abortion is a right, it is neither a whim nor a frivolity, it is a women's right that has taken us infinite time to achieve and that now seems to be taking us infinite time to maintain. And it is a right that the law must protect and must shield. You must find the formula so that it does not collide with the right to conscientious objection of doctors, of the majority of doctors in public hospitals, which is already suspect, because if not, one right crushes the other, and the crushed is that of women. What happened to Marta and many other women is a form of cruelty or violence against the fetus and against the woman. The trance of an abortion is one of the most terrible moments for women, a moment of extreme vulnerability in which accompaniment must be essential.

Well, in this country the right is recognized, thanks to those who have fought it and despite those who want to end it, but then reality continues to show us that the road traveled is excessively fragile, and that there are many willing to put obstacles in it.
