Supprimer la clause de conscience spécifique en matière d’interruption volontaire de grossesse

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a French bill proposed in the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, during the 17th legislature. It would remove the specific conscience clause that lets healthcare professionals refuse to take part in voluntary termination of pregnancy (abortion). Conscience clauses allow individual medical staff to opt out of procedures they object to on moral or religious grounds. The bill's aim is to narrow or end that exemption for abortion. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill. The bill would mainly affect doctors, midwives and other healthcare staff who may be asked to perform or assist abortions, and the women who seek them. If adopted, it could change how hospitals and clinics staff abortion services and how easily patients can access them.
