Emmanuelle Ménard, unregistered member of the Hérault, close to the extreme right, was, Wednesday, received in “Your political guest” on franceinfo. She returned to the refusal of the deputies to remove the specific conscience clause for doctors concerning the law proposing to “strengthen the right to abortion”.

Tuesday, November 30, the bill “aimed at strengthening the right to abortion”, considered at second reading in the National Assembly, was adopted. Received in “Your political guest” on franceinfo, Wednesday December 1, Emmanuelle Ménard, unregistered member of the Hérault supported by the extreme right, returned to “the specific conscience clause” doctors who can allow them to refuse the practice of voluntary termination of pregnancy.

The Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, “was aware of the deletion [dans la proposition de loi] of this conscience clause, and did not want to take a bronca at all “ doctors, judged the current municipal councilor of Béziers. The doctors’ conscience clause, in the case of abortion, was therefore maintained by the deputies. “Everyone does not necessarily agree on extending the legal period for abortion, but on the conscience clause, it was not necessarily the same thing”, she continued.
