Victory for midwives in landmark abortion conscience case
Two
Catholic midwives have won the right to be exempt from involvement in abortion
procedures following a ruling by an appeal court in
Scotland.
Judges in
Edinburgh ruled that Mary Doogan (58) and Concepta Wood (52) could lawfully
refuse to supervise and assist staff involved in abortions under the conscience
opt-out clause of the 1967 Abortion Act.
