title: Judgment, 7 December, 1988.
abstract: In 1988, the Spanish Supreme Court lifted a suspension placed on the November 1986 Royal Decree facilitating the accreditation of private health centers performing abortions (see Annual Review of Population Law, Vol. 13, 1986, Section 240).  The suspension had been granted by the Court at the request of pro-life organizations.  The Court noted that "the health of women, in conformity with guidelines of the World Health Organization urgently requires immediate application of the Royal Decree, which seriously reduces the risk involved in termination of pregnancy."
