The Platform promotes a motion and Non-Legislative Proposition in political groups to reject the constitutional reform that seeks to enshrine abortion as a fundamental right.
- Fuencisla Casanova, spokesperson for acTÚa FAMILIA, states that “after the Council of State has given the green light to the reform, the goal is for the Government of the Nation to listen to the citizenry and desist from its initiative to include abortion as a right in the Constitution”.
- “Helping the pregnant woman is truly promoting women and their health”, says the psychologist expert in the aftermath of abortion.
MADRID, February 27, 2026 / ACN.- The acTÚa FAMILIA platform, in continuity with its ALUMBRA LA VIDA campaign, presents and promotes a non-legislative proposition (PNL)—or equivalent motion—directed at municipalities, regional parliaments, and, where applicable, the Congress of Deputies. The proposal firmly rejects any attempt to present abortion as a “constitutional right”, “reproductive health right”, or “women’s right” through indirect means or interpretations that it considers “backdoor” approaches.
Fuencisla Casanova, spokesperson for acTÚa FAMILIA and psychologist expert in the aftermath of abortion, has stated emphatically: “One day abortion will be unthinkable: the right to end the life of a human being does not exist, the right to be born does exist”. This conviction is what is now being transferred to this institutional motion.
acTÚa FAMILIA denounces that the Government intends to manipulate institutions such as the Council of State and the Constitutional Court to provide cover for a purely ideological agenda. According to the statement of reasons in the proposal, modifying article 43 of the Constitution (relating to health protection) to enshrine abortion breaks the current constitutional order. The Constitution of 1978 does not recognize a right to abortion; on the contrary, article 15 guarantees the right to life and to physical and moral integrity for all, and the Constitutional Court has consistently protected the unborn as a constitutional legal interest. In this sense, the motion emphasizes that there is no “right to abort”, but rather a “right to be born”.
The reform is qualified as a profound ideological change that seeks to close a legitimate and divisive debate in Spanish society, eroding the foundational consensus of the Transition. Furthermore, it is argued that linking abortion to article 43 perverts its original purpose of guaranteeing public health, since carrying a pregnancy to term protects the mother’s physical and mental health, while voluntary abortion significantly increases—according to numerous international studies—the risks of serious disorders.
Fuencisla Casanova has repeatedly insisted that “helping the pregnant woman is truly promoting women and their health”, as well as on the serious psychological and emotional consequences of abortion, exposing the decisive reasons why post-abortion syndrome exists and is a real trauma for many women. From her professional experience and support for thousands of affected women, she reinforces the argument that “abortion is not health, but a social failure that must be rejected in all spheres, including the constitutional one”.
In conclusion, the proposal urges regional parliaments and municipalities to take a clear stance and to require the Government of the Nation, the Council of State, the Congress, and the Senate to reject this reform, defending the current constitutional framework that prioritizes life from conception and preserves the non-constitutional nature of abortion.
Points of agreement proposed in the motion:
- Preserve the current constitutional text intact, desisting from any reform in this regard.
- Preserve the non-constitutional nature of abortion, ensuring that it remains within the framework of ordinary laws, subject to democratic debate and review.
- Defend the nasciturus at all times as a legal interest to be protected, in accordance with the consolidated doctrine of the Constitutional Court.
acTÚa FAMILIA, with the leadership of voices like that of Fuencisla Casanova, calls on all local and regional institutions to support this initiative and contribute to maintaining the constitutional protection of life from conception.
