The abortion they refused to perform at a public hospital: “I was bleeding, but they told me to go home because the fetus had a heartbeat”
A patient from Valladolid recounts how, despite her pregnancy being "unviable", she had to go to another province so that her life would not be at risk.
Silvia's pregnancy was complicated from the start. By the 20th week, medical reports showed the pregnancy was "unviable" due to the baby's malformations, which made abortion necessary. However, the Hospital Universitario Río Hortega in Valladolid refused to perform the abortion. Public healthcare centers in Valladolid do not offer this service.
