Legaliseingsförslag av förföljelse av abortmotståndare inom vården

Ett förslag läggs fram för omröstning inom Europarådet som i praktiken kommer leda till verksamhetsförbud och åsiktsregistrering av yrkesverksam sjukvårdspersonal som av samvetsskäl vägrar delta i aborter. Följande formuleringar föreslås:

- to “oblige the healthcare provider to provide the desired treatment to which the patient is legally entitled [i.e. abortion] despite his or her conscientious objection”,

- to oblige the healthcare provider to take part indirectly, in all circumstances, in abortion and other critical medical practices despite his or her conscientious objection,

- to oblige the healthcare provider to prove “that his or her objection is grounded in their conscience or religious beliefs and that the refusal is done in good faith”,

- to deprive “public/state institutions, such as public hospitals and clinics, as a whole”, from the “guarantee of the right to conscientious objection”,

- to create a “registry of conscientious objectors”,

- to create “an effective complaint mechanism” against the conscientious objectors.
