It's more or less the same in most Catholic countries: abortion is VERY widely performed, sub rosa; but remains "illegal" typically because a few grandees and priests got together during some past dictatorship, and made it so.

Spain rescinded its ban in 2010 (before the Rajoy government), and most voters are glad they did. The number of abortions did not go up, and are now safer.
