<div dir="ltr"><p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">Stand up for a doctor that understands human dignity and respects the right to life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">Support the
world renowned Professor of Medicine, Dr. Bogdan Chazan, who was fired
from his position as the Director of Holy Family Hospital in Warsaw,
Poland for <b>refusing to perform an abortion. </b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt"><b>He refused, referring to the conscience clause in the Polish Constitution.</b>
In Poland, much like the United States, the constitution trumps legal
statutes. Article 53 of the Polish Constitution guarantees Dr. Chazan
and any other pro-life doctor the legal right to freedom of conscience;
thus, they are not required directly or indirectly to perform or take
part in abortions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">However, the Polish government went after Holy Family Hospital, penalizing them with an amount equivalent of $ 23,000 usd.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt"><b>Immediately after, the Mayor of Warsaw fired Dr. Chazan! </b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">This is an
issue that should be concerning to everyone -- and it is! Dr. Chazan's
story published around the globe as a full-on assault on pro-life
doctors<b>. Help us stand for the rights of pro-life doctors.</b> Sign our petition to the Mayor of Warsaw in support of Dr. Chazan.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">Dr. Chazan, a
highly respected doctor, was fired for not performing an abortion. He
claimed his freedom of conscience, but that argument was not
(apparently) strong enough for the Mayor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">The baby was conceived in a <b>fertility clinic through in vitro and became very ill (there was a deformity).</b>
22 weeks into her pregnancy, the mother went to Dr. Chazan and asked
him to perform an abortion, or refer her to someone that would. <b>He refused, referring to the conscience clause in the Polish Constitution.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">According to the decision made by Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, the Mayor of Warsaw, Dr. Chazan <b>did
not use the conscience clause properly, because he was required to give
the patient the name of a doctor who would perform an abortion. </b>Dr.
Chazan felt that the act of referring someone to a doctor for the
purpose of having an abortion is indirectly taking part in that
abortion. The fine was unwarranted, because though Dr. Chazan did not
provide the patient with the name of someone to perform an abortion,
another doctor at Holy Family Hospital did.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">Help us
support the freedom of conscience of Dr. Chazan. Please sign our
petition to the Mayor of Warsaw asking her to end the full-on assault of
pro-life doctors.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">Instead of offering abortion services, Dr. Chazan offered: <b>medical advice for the mother, hospital care before, during and after the pregnancy, and perinatal hospice care for the child. </b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:10pt">Dr. Chazan is
a world renowned pro-life doctor and professor. He is a prominent
specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology. During his tenure at the
hospital, he led Holy Family to achieve many awards. There are many
women, children, and families who are extremely grateful to Dr. Chazan
for his professionalism and the love that he provides to every patient.</span></p>
