How Dobbs accelerated Europe's abortion culture
Summary
According to the Center for Reproductive Rights, European countries, including France and Spain, are expanding abortion access. Along with expanding abortion rights, it appears that the right to abortion is limiting physicians’ ability to refuse to administer it on the grounds of conscientious objection. The Church’s reaction to the recent developments regarding abortion is that it is a cultural regression.
Relevance
European countries want to expand abortion rights, and part of this plan is to make it more accessible by making the right to abortion take hierarchy over the right for medical staff to refuse to deliver certain services because of their religious beliefs. Then, the effect on Catholic healthcare Institutions is that there is increased pressure for these institutions to provide abortion care.
