Abstract
The Spanish legislator of 2015, through exhaustive and systematic work exceptional in the field of minors carried out the task of reforming essential aspects that affect sexual rights and sex ual and reproductive health rights of minors: raising the age of sexual consent as well as changes on abortion affecting teenagers under 16 and 17 years old and in the consent by representation (article 9.3 L 41/2002). These modifications and the previous restrictions on transsexuality or assisted reproduction, allow to deduce a clear intention to eliminate or limit the capacity of the minor in the decision making relevant in this matter
