Against professional instinct
The medical class is in mourning. There are only a few steps to go before the nature of its work is changed: to help the human being when he or she is attacked by disease. With the new law, abortion is enshrined as a woman's right. On the other hand, some physicians will be obliged to collaborate in its performance, thus going against their deepest professional instinct of financial aid to help the weakest.
Conscientious objection to attacking human life in the womb is now a well-established Constitutional Law , which will be curtailed by the rules that will be developed as a corollary. It will even be mandatory for future physicians to learn how to destroy it during their programs of study.
The new law proposes measures theoretically protective of life, but everything is reduced to a mere information to the mother and a period of reflection, leaving the unborn child more defenseless than before. A deadline of the life of the unborn child is left to the discretion of the mother. The text also attempts to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but it seems that everything will be reduced to intensifying the "sexualEducation " that has led to them, when the reasonable alternative would be to solve the difficulties of the pregnant woman.
There have been attempts at biological justification of the new law, and it has been painful to see the blindness of some colleagues involved in it. They seem to have forgotten the most basic knowledge about the beginning and development of human life, and that they were also embryonic human beings.
