Mexican Health Care Workers and Hospitals Seek Exemption from Requirement to Provide Abortions

Hundreds of doctors, nurses, and even whole medical institutions are seeking legal exemption from Official Mexican Norm 046, which requires medical practitioners to perform abortions on women who claim they have been raped, within 72 hours of the request. The administration of President Felipe Calderon approved the new regulation on April 16 after coming under pressure from pro-abortion "human rights" groups such as Amnesty International. LifeSiteNews
