El Pais: El aborto se queda en lo privado (31/07/2007)	El Pais: Abortion remains private
Sólo el 3% de las interrupciones voluntarias de embarazo se practican en hospitales públicos .- Ningún médico de la sanidad pública de seis comunidades autónomas practica abortos .- La prestación está privatizada en esas regiones	Only 3% of voluntary intrssuptions of pregnancy are practiced in public hospitals.- No public heatlth service doctors practices abortions in six Autonomous Communities.- Provision is privatised in those regions
Han pasado 22 años desde la despenalización del aborto en España, y las interrupciones voluntarias de embarazos no dejan de aumentar: se ha pasado de 16.000 en 1987 a 90.000 en 2005. Sin embargo, sólo el 3% de los abortos se practican en hospitales públicos, y seis comunidades -Navarra, Extremadura, Murcia, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha y Andalucía- no tienen ninguno que las realice. Las autonomías aseguran que se garantiza el derecho a través de conciertos con clínicas privadas y que el problema radica en que los médicos recurren a la cláusula de objeción de conciencia. Las mujeres que acuden a la sanidad pública se enfrentan muchas veces a obstáculos que hacen que vayan directamente a las clínicas privadas.	22 years have passed since the depenalisation of abortion in Spain, and voluntary interruptions of pregnancy continue rising: it has gone from 16,000 in 1987 to 90,000 in 2005. However, only 3% of abortions is practised in public hospitals, and six [Autonomous] Communities -Navarra, Extremadura, Murcia, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia- have no [hospital] making them. The Autonomous Governments claim that the right [to an abortion] is guaranteed through concertation with private clinics and that the problem is rooted in doctors resorting to the conscientious objection clause. Women going to the public health system often face hurdles making them go directly to private clinics.
Abortar en un hospital público puede ser una odisea: las mujeres carecen de información en muchos casos, en otros tienen que recorrer cientos de kilómetros para poder ejercer su derecho y algunas soportan discursos ideológicos antiabortistas de sus médicos de cabecera. Pero el mayor problema radica en que en los hospitales públicos apenas se practican interrupciones voluntarias de embarazo. ¿El motivo? Muchos médicos, aparentemente, objetan.	Having an abortion in a public hospital can be an odyssey: women lack information in many cases, in others they have to travel hundreds of kilometers to exercise their right and some endureideological anti-abortion speeches from their family doctors. But the biggest problem is rooted in the fact that public hospitals hardly practice voluntary interruptions of pregnancy. The reason? Many doctors, apparently, object.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?
