'Everything will be fine': Spain's Ministry of Health is now promoting abortion
Spain's Ministry of Health has launched an ad campaign to remind women that they have the so-called "right" to have an abortion, and that those abortions can take place within public healthcare centers.
A new video ad campaign in Spain tells women it's "okay" to have an abortion.
The campaign also reminds regional governments that they are required by law to offer abortions at public healthcare centers.
There is never a "right" to take an innocent human life.
The campaign, which has the slogan, "You have the right to an abortion and to have one in the public healthcare system," was touted by Minister of Health leader, Mónica García. García said the ad is meant to demonstrate that having an abortion is "okay," and women shouldn't feel bad about choosing to end the lives of their preborn children.
“There isn’t just one way to experience and talk about abortion. Some feel relief, sadness, doubt, while others are certain. Every woman has the right to experience it without anyone imposing on her how,” García said.
In the video ad, a young woman talks about the different feelings that may occur when a woman discovers she is pregnant, saying:
"Maybe you'll get excited and talk about it with your family, or maybe not. Maybe you'll be sure, or maybe not. Maybe they'll want to make you feel guilty, or maybe they'll support you along the way. Then, maybe you'll decide to have the baby, or maybe not. Maybe you'll decide to have an abortion. And that's okay.
Think what you think, feel what you feel and decide what you decide, everything will be fine. Because you have the right to have an abortion and to do it in the public system.”
García said she wants women to understand they can "talk openly" about abortion.
"This campaign was created to tell them that they have the right to decide, and the public healthcare system has the obligation to support them," she said.
The campaign launched on September 22, and the video is projected to air "soon" on Spanish media.
Part of the ad campaign's intent is to ensure that regional governments know they are required by law to commit abortions in public healthcare centers.
Despite the law, the majority of abortions currently happen in private clinics. According to data shared on elDiario, 78% of abortions were performed in private clinics under contract with the government in 2024.
García said this shows “how much progress still needs to be made” to expand abortion access in the country.
Despite the propaganda, abortion is not a personal healthcare decision — it's the taking of an innocent human life. There is no circumstance or situation in which a woman and her doctor have the "right" to end the life of a preborn child.
