“Almost all of the medical profession was opposed to the abolition of the conscience clause” with regard to abortion, assures the deputy Emmanuelle Ménard

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.
