Controversial statements by Adolfo Suárez Illana on abortion. The ‘number two’ of Pablo Casado for the general elections has shown his opinion on the interruption of pregnancy and has compared it with techniques from distant times by assuring “that they tell me that you can kill sooner or later… Neanderthals do it too they used, they waited for them to be born and they cut off their heads”.
has assured on Onda Cero that it does not support abortion and has shown its commitment to “helping women who have to decide between being mothers of a living child or a dead child”, work that is done in Red Madre, an association to which belongs. “It’s not about putting anyone in jail. It’s about when a woman is pregnant, if she thinks her father is going to do something to her or her husband I don’t know what, or she doesn’t have economic possibilities, the State must be there “, has added.
Suárez Illana recognizes himself as part of the minority compared to the “80%” of Spanish society that is in favor of abortion. That is why he says that the PP will not try to reform the 2010 law because “there is no consensus for that” although he regrets “having 100,000 abortions a year in our country is outrageous. Regardless of any political or moral sense, from a human point of view And with the demographic winter we are living through, it is outrageous that we are not doing anything to try to reduce those numbers.”

He does intend to extend his anti-abortion opinion, which includes other reasoning such as: “What is not an embryo is a tumor. If you do not touch it, you end up being a fellow countryman with a beard like you or a wonderful woman like the one in front of us”, he said while being interviewed.
Suárez Illana has alluded to a law “that has just been approved” in New York and that “allows abortion after birth.” She refers to the one that allows abortion at any time after 24 weeks of gestation “to protect the life of the mother” or if the fetus “is not viable.” In the event that none of these assumptions is met, the term already established in the previous law prevails.
After the subsequent uproar caused by his words, Suárez Illana wanted to settle the controversy by explaining that the best thing “when one makes a mistake and messes up is to apologize.” In fact, he has assured that he has contacted New York law firms that have confirmed that he was wrong in his conception of this abortion law.
