Crucial Vote This Week, At The World Medical Association, On Abortion.

This Article is taken from, and can be read in full at,



Freedom of Conscience is once again under attack. At The General Assembly of The World Medical Association (WMA) in Reykjavik, Iceland, an alarming “Declaration On Medically-Indicated Abortion” will be discussed, and submitted to a vote, this week.

This is the last chance for the representatives of National Medical Associations to advocate for the Conscientious Objection of Physicians. If the “Declaration” will not be Law, as such, it will have a great influence on the International Human Rights Law that is binding on States.

We already took action in April 2018. We sent a letter to all WMA Members, asking them to oppose or amend this “Declaration.” They took into account our argument and suppressed the Clause FORCING Physicians to perform Abortions under certain circumstances.

This was a first great victory for
Freedom of Conscience !
