Robert Duncan of Spero News comments:

He takes a broad look at the activities and priorities of the government, and this item is just one of many that leapt out at me:

With the country becoming increasingly dependant upon immigration and one of the world’s lowest birthrates, the government absurdly turns a blind eye to the active abortion tourist trade operating in Madrid and Barcelona , and where the price includes airline fare, abortion and hotel. No word if the drinks are on the house. Even the Dutch and English have been appalled at the ease with which late-term pregnant women can get an abortion in Spain – the flashing of money can almost always find a willing doctor to forge a document that the pregnancy had to be terminated as it was a risk to the woman.

There was somewhat of an uproar about this in England last year, in which the government health services were apparently referring women to Spain for these late abortions, which are illegal in England.
