On June 1, 2010, the People’s Party filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court challenging the constitutionality of the law. Eleven years later, the ruling has not been made public.
A campaign launched on the HazteOír platform has garnered more than 20,000 signatures demanding “no more silence.”
The current government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, also a PSOE member, is afraid the Constitutional Court’s ruling could overturn the abortion law.
According to the EFE news agency, “the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, fears the possibility that the Constitutional Court will cut back the abortion law by reactivating the deliberations on the appeal filed by the People’s Party more than a decade ago and has reminded the court that this is a matter of a basic right of pregnant women.”
The HazteOír campagn says that the Constitutional Court would have its ruling “kept in a drawer” because “it declares the abortion law to be unconstitutional.”
For the thousands who have signed the petition, the Constitutional Court “is afraid. For 11 years it has been silent for fear of power, of that Left that wants to kill human embryos without any restrictions.”
