MADRID (Reuters) -Spain's leftist government plans to enshrine the right to abortion in the constitution amid what it views as a global onslaught on reproductive freedom, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Friday.
If passed, the Mediterranean nation would become the second country in the world to make abortion rights constitutional after France did so last year. Spain marks four decades since the act ceased to be a crime in 1985.
