Illegal abortions in Spain

The following article (in Spanish) describes the arrest of doctors and psychiatrists in Spain for involvement in illegal abortions - usually outside the time limits. One of the psychiatrists is alleged to have signed off psychiatric reports for patients he had never seen.

This kind of thing happens in the UK too, as admitted by those who want more permissive rules on the grounds that the current rules are flouted so often as to become risible. (For example I've heard of doctors who sign a whole stack of blank forms in advance). In fact, out of the 200,oo abortions in the UK each year, my personal suspicion is that a huge percentage are technically illegal for this kind of reason. I can't help thinking that this reflects the morality (or lack of it) of many people within the pro-choice moevement (I accept that there are also many sincere ones).

Perhaps the difference between Spain and Britain is that in Spain they do seem to make some effort to enforce the law, whereas here you can basically do the what you want with impunity becasue nobody here will dare to stand up to the rabid feminists.
