Therapeutic Abortion Bill vs. Sharia
“There are still some ambiguities about the legitimacy of therapeutic abortion and the approval of its bill by the Guardian Council,” said Hossein Ali Shahriari, member of the Health committee of the 7th Majlis (Parliament). “Although this bill has passed commission, it has not yet found its way to the Parliament’s floor for a general vote, since we are negotiating with the clergies of the Guardian Council. It seems most of the clergies of Guardian Council see therapeutic abortion against the Sharia (Islamic Laws) and we are following up to fix the probable shortcomings of the bill,” he added.
Shahriari also mentioned that the members of the committee should be careful not to imply that the 7th Majlis has proposed a bill against the Sharia so that it later faces problems with its approval in the Guardian Council.
