Hi,
In Turkey abortion on request is legal till the 10th
week of pregnancy since 1983. In the Turkish
gynecologists' list (
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/kadindogum/ )
there is a debate for more than a month. Can a
gynecologist working only for the state, a civil
servant gynecologist, refuse to perform a voluntary
termination of pregnancy?
Pro abortionists say that a civil servant may not
refuse to perform a voluntary termination. He or she
is obliged to do them if he or she is to continue to
work as civil servant. There is no place for
conscientious objection of abortion for the state
employees.
I would like to learn the present situation in the
countries of list mates, and their personal views and
experiences.
Regards,
Bulent Potur MD Obgyn
