Good for Slovakia

The battle over "objection of conscience" and "reporductive healthcare",
just like in the U.S.A..

1.
This is the same moral action we would have expected the citizens to
exercise against the Nazis.

2. Why call abortion health care? Although it drills out a life-style
problem, it is hardly a health issue for the mother or the child.

An attempt by the Vatican to reduce the number of abortions in one of central Europe's most staunchly Roman Catholic countries is being challenged by the EU. A legal panel appointed by the European commission has attacked a draft treaty between Slovakia and the Vatican that would have restricted sensitive medical treatment such as abortions and IVF.

Approximately 70% of the population in Slovakia - which joined the EU in May 2004 - is Catholic.
"There is a risk that the recognition of a right to exercise objection of conscience in the field of reproductive healthcare will make it in practice impossible or very difficult for women to receive advice or treatment ... especially in rural areas."

Pope Benedict XVI is keen to maintain the work of his predecessor - the first Slav Pope - in extending the Vatican's influence across eastern Europe. If the agreement between the Vatican and Slovakia is passed into law it will have the status of an international treaty because the Holy See is a sovereign state.
