CWN Editor's Note: The co-leader of the “Synodal Path” promoted by the German bishops’ conference has said that “a nationwide provision of the medical intervention of abortion must be ensured.”

She lamented: “This is not the case at present because gynecological care is lacking in rural areas in particular.”
