The announcement of the event took place at the Miguel Castillejo Foundation, where the president of the association, Isabel Pinaglia, and another of the members, María Victoria Palop, reported the number of abortions that took place in Córdoba last year, a total of 1,319, the highest in a decade.

Abortion debate
Those responsible for the platform also mentioned two current issues surrounding abortion. The first looks Francewhere the right to abortion was enshrined in its constitution. In this sense, they explained the contradiction that exists in the Spanish Constitution, which in its article

On this point, they consider that their work assistance at the doors of the abortion clinic in Cordoba It is guaranteed by limiting itself to handing out brochures to people who accept them, excluding any type of harassment.
Precisely, in the capital Córdoba, there is only one clinic that performs abortions up to the fourteenth week and which is located on Avenida. Olleríasresponsible for at least a thousand of these 1,319 abortions. The rest falls under legislative hypotheses such as 22 weeks due to an anomaly of the fetus or a danger to the health of the mother’s life or due to an illness incompatible with life. These cases are mentioned Seville. The two representatives of the platform welcomed the fact that public health doctors in Córdoba refuse to perform abortions.
Since its launch in 2018, the “Cordoba for Life” platform has succeeded in freeing abortion from 83 babies from 81 mothers.
