Doctors for Life, a pro-life lobby group, spoke out<\/a> against the recent vote<\/a> by the European Union Parliament in favor of the Mati\u0107 Report, which defends abortion as a human right and puts pressure on pro-life member states to legalize abortion. The group called the report “another step in the efforts of the pro-abortion lobby to normalize this abhorrent practice in Europe and force it on member states.”<\/p>\n

The Mati\u0107 Report<\/a> on the situation of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the EU, in the frame of women’s health, pressures pro-life member states of the EU to enact pro-abortion laws. Introduced by S&D MEP Fred\u00a0Mati\u0107, it calls for guaranteed access to sexual and reproductive health. This includes not only abortion, but fertility treatments that often result in the destruction<\/a> of human lives. The report also aims to end conscience protections for pro-life doctors and medical workers, forcing them to commit or participate in abortions.<\/p>\n
