8 May 2002 Pro-Life Health Professionals Oversighted Enquiries: Dr. Jay Mannie Pro-life Health Professionals were apparently deliberately oversighted in Mugabean style by the Reproductive Rights Alliance when invitations were sent out to make oral submissions at the so-called “National Oversight Hearings into the Implementation of Pregnancy Act.” The carefully selected “experts” were discussing and blaming the majority of Health Professionals for refusing to take any part in the abortion procedure in accordance with their Constitutional rights. Doctors For Life (DFL) represents 750 doctors, specialists and professors of medicine from different medical faculties across South Africa, who refuse to take any part in the Abortion procedure and also offers free legal advice to any Health Professionals under any kind of pressure to take part in the Abortion procedure. It is noticed with disgust that the same Government who opposes the saving of babies born to HIV+ mothers, is now wasting time and money to enforce the killing of the babies of mislead mothers in draconian style. Patients and voters should question Government on whether they truly represent the wish of the people they serve or rather some 1945 philosophy to eliminate those “unwanted and less than human” in their eyes. The undemocratic way in which the initial invitations to this hearing was organised is totally unacceptable to DFL and we intend to test the procedural correctness of the hearings handled by the Health Committee and the Reproductive Rights Alliance . ### For more information: Contact Dr Jay Mannie, Dep.CEO of Doctors For Life Tel: 0836414382. |
