Military Physicians And Abortion
Around the new Abortion Act, sorry for Sexual and Reproductive Health, there are a lot of questions that are unanswered. For example, I read in Alba military doctors, through the independent group known as THE MILITARY FOR DEMOCRACY, established in 1994, claiming their right to conscientious objection. As fiercely military would obey their superior officers in this case as in others, yet they say they can not go against their moral convictions are declared “war” against abortion with these strong words:
“The staff of the Military Medical Corps is protected against impositions, such as performing abortions or dispense biocidal preparations and devices for destruction of human beings conceived in the womb.”
There is the law of the Ordinances of the military that protects this right. At a time when they are not allowed to use their weapons or in case of terrorism or piracy, would be grotesque and unnatural to be forced to perform abortions under a military order. I doubt that will come to rely on that system, but my opinion is they do well in anticipating the possible imposition of immediate or even control of the Minister of Defence.
There are already many associations and institutions have rushed to declare totally against the new abortion law reform. As has already been released, was the University Clinic of Navarra, who published last December, a joint declaration signed by the Director General of the Clinic of the University, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, the Dean of Sciences, Dean of Pharmacy and Director of the School of Nursing
I will not go into detail because it is known by all, but began with these words:
“The tragedy of an unwanted pregnancy can not be solved with the top of an abortion tragedy.”
A She has been joined by other medical schools such as San Pablo CEU and University Partnerships for Life Physicians for Life and unborn child. In all the pupils themselves are opposed to a law that requires them to learn to abort. Similarly the Medical Association states that:
“Accept the laws of Parliament, but subject always to the higher value of freedom of conscience of every one”
The conclusion we draw from this is that private hospitals will enrich abortion dramatically, it is clear that the Public Health and the military will prevail with a lot of conscientious objection.
And finally I copy a letter, hiding the name of the sender, addressed to the Minister of Defence, which has nothing to do with the issue of abortion, but it clarifies the place, Carmen Chacón, between the military profession.
