"At the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe tomorrow, there will be a vote on the report by the British socialist, Christine McCafferty, entitled ‘Women’s Access to Lawful Medical Care: the Problem of Unregulated Conscientious Objection’.
We must completely condemn this report, which amounts to an unprecedented and serious interference in, and threat to, the sovereignty of Member States, the principle of subsidiarity and the fundamental right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. The report focuses particularly on the area of so-called reproductive healthcare for women, and abortions, sterilisation and also, if I may quote, ‘pain-relief by life-shortening means for terminally ill patients’, which means active euthanasia. This Council of Europe document even demands that Member States oblige healthcare providers to provide a requested treatment to which a patient is legally entitled regardless of their conscientious objections. Moreover, it calls for the creation of some kind of register of people who exercise an objection, and then proposes that they be somehow persecuted. It is unacceptable to give in to this trend for regulating conscientious objection in Europe."@en1
