European doctors' action
The European Doctors' Action in German-speaking countries is a conservative association of doctors from the right to life movement , which campaigns against the legalization of abortion .
Origin and activities
The European Doctors' Action was founded in 1975 as one of the first nationwide organizations to oppose abortion . The EÄA emerged from a campaign against abortion in Ulm called Aktion Ulm 70 . The chairman of Aktion Ulm 70 and founder of the European Doctors' Campaign was Siegfried Ernst . Today both medical professionals and non-medical professionals are members.
The EÄA has published the quarterly journal Medicine and Ideology since 1978 .
According to Eike Sanders , Ulli Jentsch and Felix Hansen , the European Doctors' Campaign was the most influential organization for the protection of life in the early 1990s, but has since experienced a steady decline in influence.
Positions
In the 1970s, the European Doctors' Action linked their Christianly motivated rejection of abortion with a fear that this would also pose dangers for the future of the German people. The new version of Paragraph 218 in June 1992 described the European Doctors' Action as a “new enabling law ”. According to Eike Sanders, Ulli Jentsch and Felix Hansen, the first chairman, Sigfried Ernst, had "references to the openly extremely right-wing milieu".
