Equality Minister Irene Montero said women must have the right to “to decide on their bodies”.
In 2015, the ruling People's Party changed the laws of abortion in Spain and mandated parental approval for girls between the ages of 16 and 18, writes BBC, translates Periscope.
Abortion is legal in Spain for the first 14 weeks of the woman's pregnancy.
Wednesday, Mrs. Montero said the reform was “more than necessary”.

To pass this law, they need 176 votes in parliament, or an absolute majority. /Periscope
