Madrid, Spain, May 7, 2007 / 10:00 am
The assistant director of the Life Foundation in Spain, Carlos Valdes, said this week the “private business” of abortion has turned Madrid into the Mecca of abortion, since in 2005 49% of women who underwent the procedure there were from other parts of Spain and other countries.
Abortion, he said, “is a growing private business in the Community of Madrid. In 2005, 98.3% of these feticides took place in private clinics, above last year’s figure of 97%.” He added that 49% of those who obtained abortion came from outside Madrid, “39.8% from other provinces and 9.2% from other countries.”
