Ethics Council against extending the abortion period to 12 weeks. They accept the end of the requirement for two doctors.
The National Council of Ethics and Medical Deontology opposes extending the abortion period to 12 weeks, favoring the current law. However, it supports removing the requirement for two doctors and limiting conscientious objection to the abortion itself. The council argues that extending the period contradicts medical ethics and emphasizes the importance of early termination for women's health. It also insists on maintaining a mandatory three-day reflection period before the procedure. The Council of Ethics for Life Sciences shares similar views, rejecting the extension while agreeing on the removal of the two-doctor requirement. Both councils uphold conscientious objection as a fundamental right but stress it should not impede access to healthcare.
