Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF)
[American Thinker] Fast forward to today, and Spain has tragically inverted its legacy. What was once a force against human sacrifice now promotes it through abortion. In Aztec and Inca times, victims were offered to appease false gods; now, the unborn are sacrificed on the altar of convenience, autonomy, and secular ideology. This is no hyperbole -- abortion ends innocent lives in a sterile, systematized manner, echoing the ancient horrors but sanitized for modern sensibilities.
Spain's slide into this culture of death accelerated with progressive reforms. The 2023 amendments to its abortion law not only expanded access but mandated the creation of registries for healthcare professionals who conscientiously object to participating in abortions. In a chilling development, on March 10, 2026, the High Court of Justice of Madrid ordered the regional government to "immediately" begin compiling such a registry, overriding resistance from Madrid president Isabel DÃaz Ayuso, who decried it as "blacklisting" doctors and vowed never to force them against their conscience. Health Minister Mónica GarcÃa hailed this as a "legal victory for abortion rights," but from a pro-life standpoint, it's a victory for persecution -- creating lists of those who refuse to partake in what we see as infanticide.
