The Popular Party and Vox voted against the Compromís move that would have given women the right to choose to end their pregnancy. It has been a party stand that all women have the right to choose an abortion. It has also spoken out against the problems women have getting an abortion in state hospitals in Elche and the lack of information they are given. Esther Díez has asked the Ministry of Health to protect women’s right to have abortions in public places and to promote sexual education in schools so that students can learn how to avoid getting pregnant through sexual relationships.

The socialist councillor Mariano Valera has asked that women who are considering abortion get professional help with their mental health and that health workers be trained in this area. Valera has supported the “essential” need to make the public health system more humane and up-to-date so that abortions can be done safely.

We support the need to make the public system more humane and up-to-date so that people can safely get pregnant.

In response, Aurora Rodil, a spokesperson for Vox, has stayed strong because she is a strong pro-lifer and defended that stance in the plenary session. Rodil said that the offer from the Compromís is “an apology for the cruel murder of innocent children.” She has also said that doctors who do abortions are “qualified murderers.” Along these lines, Rodil has said that ending pregnancies has become more common in families with children who have Down syndrome, which a Vox representative called “genocide.” Aurora Rodil brought up the fact that her group is working on safety plans for moms who are alone.

Pablo Ruz, the mayor of Elche, also spoke out in favour of doctors who don’t want to perform abortions during his turn to explain his vote. It has been said by Ruz that ending a pregnancy is a failure of society. This is why the mayor attacked Mariano Valera, a leftist councillor, for supporting abortion even though he has a “religious past.”
