Abortion and contraception rules in Spain
SHAPE classifies family planning and abortion rights in Spain as progressive, combining abortion law and contraception policy.
Progressive framework
- Abortion: Abortion is available on request through 14 weeks. Since the 2023 reform, 16- and 17-year-olds do not require parental consent and the mandatory reflection period was removed.
- Contraception: EPF's 2026 contraception-policy score is 68.8%; the atlas records partial national coverage.
- Interpretation: The status combines legal rules and national policy access; regional availability and individual eligibility may differ.
