Pro Life Campaign poll finds majority against 'forcing' pro life doctors to carry out abortions

A poll commissioned by the Pro Life Campaign has found that 80% of people do not think doctors and healthcare workers should be made to carry out abortions against their conscience.

Dr Ruth Cullen of the Pro Life Campaign said: “The Government’s abortion Bill contains no positive right to conscientious objection from having to perform abortions. If the Bill passes in its current form, doctors, nurses and midwives could be forced to carry out abortions regardless of their deeply held personal views on the issue.
