Abortions in Spain dropped 24% during strict COVID-19 lockdown, study finds Research involving Pompeu Fabra University has concluded that abortions in Spain fell by around 24% during the two months of strict lockdown due to COVID-19 in the spring of 2020. The study, conducted by the researchers Libertad González (UPF Department of Economics and Business and Barcelona School of Economics) and Karina Trommlerová (Institute of Public Policy of Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia), reveals that this reduction was not due to the closure of clinics or difficulties getting access to the health service, but to a decrease in unwanted pregnancies, especially among single women. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-12-abortions-spain-strict-covid-lockdown.html
