German court upholds ban on abortions in Catholic-run hospital
A ban on abortion procedures in a Catholic-run hospital was upheld by a German court on Friday, as 2,000 people joined a protest against the measure, reported Xinhua. The Hamm Labour Court in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia rejected a complaint by doctor Joachim Volz against regulations issued by his new employer, Klinikum Lippstadt-Christian Hospital, following a merger. Judge Klaus Griese said the hospital operator was "authorized"…
In Lippstadt a doctor goes to court today because he does not want to accept what his new employer demands: to reject abortions, even if they are medically necessary. The employer: the Catholic Church, after a merger of new carriers of the clinic. Catholic hospitals reject abortions or perform them only in absolute exceptional cases.
