These guidelines are no law in force. They must not impose on a doctor to treat a peculiar situation. Doctors are bound by laws, regulations, medical ethics codes. He is besides entitled to apply the provisions of the Constitution – including opposition to conscience – he said about attempts by the ministry to force the alleged abortion legal counsel Marek Puzio, coordinator of the Ordo Iuris Institute program "Let's defend children. household and marriage’.
– The Constitutional Tribunal not only in this judgement of 2020 made it clear that the Polish Constitution has been guarding life since its conception. The kid Ombudsman Act in Article 2 defines the kid as a individual from conception to adulthood. Thus, from the law, which is besides common in law and constitutional terms, we can derive specified a definition that we have been dealing with man since conception – stressed the lawyer at the beginning of the interview held on Tuesday on Radio Maryja.
Marek Puzio mentioned exceptions in Polish law relating to the protection of life. Following the repeal of the alleged eugenic condition in the light of the provisions, ‘abortion’ shall be permitted in the event of a threat to the wellness or life of the mother, and in the event that ‘there is simply a advanced probability that pregnancy is the consequence of a prohibited act’. – However, since the law is guarding the protection of this life, it has late been trying to open specified gates as will weaken this protection of life – indicated the guest “News of the Day”.
– If we were to defend the mother's wellness as allowing abortion, to foster intellectual health, it is indeed very hard to verify. So we open the wide door to abortion, which in certain situations, if these certificates are unreliable, will be de facto abortion on request. – warned the legal advisor.
Under guidelines addressed to medical institutions and doctors, and published on the government website there are no signatures of circumstantial people. The Ordo Iuris Institute receives information from doctors indicating that pro-abortional dispositions went to individual hospitals.
– First of all, it should be pointed out that these guidelines are no law in force.
They must not impose on a doctor to treat a peculiar situation. Doctors are bound by laws, regulations, medical ethics codes. It is besides entitled to apply the provisions of the Constitution – that is, besides to argue conscience. Freedom of conscience as 1 of the constitutional freedoms of man is protected at this highest level, at the constitutional level. Therefore, the guidelines do not straight apply to doctors, as much as hospitals Marek Puzio stressed.
The lawyer referred to reports of the beginning of an abortion clinic in Warsaw.
– Because specified activity is prohibited by Polish law. Article 152 of the Penal Code penalises assistance in abortion in situations not permitted by the Act – stressed.
– Such assistance should besides be considered to be the transfer of miscarriage drugs to a pregnant woman. The case law even indicates helping to have an abortion abroad. Here, this protection of the life of the conceived, erstwhile it comes to Polish criminal law, reaches so far. The ideological revolution is aimed at many areas of life. No wonder that besides in this basic cell of society, which is marriage, which is family said the analyst Ordo Iuris.
