A Catholic doctor is preparing to challenge an order at the High Court in London which blocks him from offering life-saving treatment for unborn babies.
Dr Dermot Kearney, a consultant cardiologist and past president of the Catholic Medical Association, is currently prohibited from offering a treatment known as “abortion pill reversal” (APR).
The General Medical Council (GMC), which regulates UK doctors, referred the case to an interim orders tribunal, which ruled that Dr Kearney had to stop providing the treatment, in which a pregnant woman who has taken an abortion pill is given the natural hormone progesterone.
