A Swedish midwife has filed a case against Sweden with the European Court of Human Rights after Sweden failed to uphold her conscientious objection to abortion. Mrs. Ellinor Grimmark was fired from her job as a midwife when she refused to participate in abortions. She took a case in Sweden but lost and is now appealing to the European Court of Human Rights. Robert Clarke of ADF International, who are providing legal counsel, said Sweden has failed to protect this midwife’s fundamental right to freedom of conscience guaranteed by international law and this case, “could determine whether people who value life at all stages of development will be able to pursue a medical career in the future.”
