Judgment, 26 October 1988.
The Court held that provisions of a law enacted by the canton Zug restricting access to abortion were invalid because they were in conflict with federal law provisions relating to abortion.  The law in question required 1) that abortions could be performed only by specialists in gynecology and obstetrics; 2) that they be approved by a committee of experts; and 3) that authorization for abortions be given only to women who are residents of Zug.
