Conscientious Objection To Abortion
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Civil Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Imperium Anglorum
The World Assembly,
Recognising that it would be immoral to force a health care provider to perform an abortion if that medical provider has a bona fide conscientious objection to abortion,
Believing that forcing a medical provider to do so against his or her will would be counterproductive at ensuring safe and quality care, and
Confident that access to abortion is sufficiently provided by GA 499 'Access to Abortion' and requirements therein for member nations to provide affirmative access to abortion services at national expense, hereby enacts as follows:
1. No health care provider in any member nation who expresses a bona fide conscientious or religious objection to abortion may be required to perform or assist in any abortion, provided that such objection is communicated publicly in advance and that such objection does not impose a substantial burden on access of necessary treatment to preserve life or prevent severe permanent injury.
2. Health care providers, when exercising rights under section 1, must refer persons seeking an abortion to appropriate resources to access such services.
3. Assistance, in section 1, does not include the sale of, purchase of, or transacting in goods used in abortion services.
