Abortion. According to the Order of Physicians, the law by Passos revoked in 2016 is in effect
The Order of Doctors claims that the 2015 amendments to the abortion law remain in effect, despite their revocation in 2016. These amendments included provisions regarding conscientious objection that were intended to complicate access to abortion. A recent FAQ from the Order incorrectly states that a now-repealed provision still applies, leading to confusion about the legal status of conscientious objection. The Health Regulatory Authority has criticized the lack of a complete registry of conscientious objectors, highlighting legal violations by health units. Despite clear legal prohibitions against objectors participating in consultations, the Order's interpretations suggest otherwise, raising concerns about the influence of anti-abortion groups on medical practices.
