Doctor who refuses to refer women for abortions denied ‘conscientious objector’ status in Spain

Doctor refused ‘conscientious objector’ status for not referring for abortions in Spain | LifeSiteNews.com: The unnamed family doctor from a public medical centre in Antequera in southern Spain applied for privileges under the country’s Abortion Act to be free from being required to refer women for abortions based on his conscience objections. However, the judge in the Malega court rejected the physician’s request, maintaining that his “duty to provide adequate health care prevailed over that of conscience.”
