The Medical College of Antioquia asked to respect conscientious objection to not practice abortion in the department.

The statement was made by the president of this union, Carlo Valdivieso, after hearing the decision of the Constitutional Court to decriminalize abortion until the 24th week of gestation (sixth month).

“The new scenario of decriminalization of abortion requires two very fundamental tasks from the institutions that provide health services and from doctors. The first is the generation of protocols for carrying out this type of procedure that must comply with all the elements of safety and preservation of human life”, he said.

However, Valdivieso urged, if a doctor is required to go to conscientious objection.

“It is an inalienable right of any doctor when it comes to carrying out a medical procedure such as the voluntary interruption of pregnancy,” he said.

The doctor had already said in different media that he did not study medicine to take lives and that the main function is to preserve life and relieve pain.

The mayor of Medellin, Daniel Quintero, had already said that conscientious objection would be respected in the capital of Antioquia and that is why he announced a team of psychologists and social workers who will assist women seeking an abortion in the capital of Antioquia.
