The guidelines currently in operation were issued by the Medical Council on 26 November, 1998 and superseded the previous document, published in 1993. The following is the text relevant to abortion:

"The deliberate and intentional destruction of the unborn child is professional misconduct. Should a child in utero suffer or lose its life as a side effect of standard medical treatment of the mother, then this is not unethical. Refusal by a doctor to treat a woman with a serious illness because she is pregnant would be grounds for complaint and could be considered to be professional misconduct."

==============================

This runs in direct contradiction to the claims made by Kirkland Junction.
