Andorra’s Abortion Law Under Fire | Andorra News
Description
Abortion rights in Andorra remain fiercely contested as the government quietly left a criminal clause untouched despite recent Penal Code reforms. Activists from Acció Feminista are demanding justice, arguing that Article 117 violates core constitutional values like dignity, equality, and bodily autonomy — and is outright sexist by punishing only those who can get pregnant. Women face dangerous underground procedures or costly international travel, bearing immense physical, mental, and financial burdens. Backed by rulings from the European Court of Human Rights and WHO guidelines, the group is rallying politicians to challenge the law in court while continuing protests and public campaigns until true reproductive freedom is secured.
