  1. Abortion restrictions: the case for conscientious non-compliance on the part of providers.Pierce Randall & Jacob Mago - 2024 - Journal of Medical Ethics 50 (3):185-189.
    This paper offers a qualified defence of physician non-compliance with antiabortion legislation in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The paper examines two ethically troubling trends of post-Dobbs legislation: narrow and vague maternal health exemption clauses and mandatory reporting of miscarriages in jurisdictions where patients may criminal prosecution for medically induced abortions. It then examines and defends a professional obligation on the part of physicians to comply with the law. This obligation, however, (...)

  • Choosing to Provide: Early Medical Abortion and Clinician Conscience in Ireland.Mary Donnelly & Claire Murray - 2024 - Health Care Analysis 32 (3):165-183.
    Providers are essential to the delivery of abortion care. Yet, they often occupy an ambiguous space in political discourse around abortion. The introduction of a new abortion service in Ireland invites us to look afresh at providers. Since the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 came into force, by far the most common form of abortion care has been early medical abortion (EMA). This is typically provided by General Practitioners (GPs), with approximately 10% of GPs having chosen to (...)

  • On the importance of consistency: a response to Giubilini et al.Xavier Symons - 2024 - Journal of Medical Ethics 50 (5):347-348.
    Giubiliniet aloffer some helpful reflections on the conscientious provision of medical care and whether and in what circumstances professional associations ought to support the conscientious provision of abortion in circumstances where abortion is banned or heavily restricted. I have several reservations, however, about the argument developed in the article. First, the essay makes questionable use of the case of Savita Halappanavar to justify its central argument about conscientious provision. Second, there is an apparent inconsistency between this article and the authors’ (...)

  • Principled Conscientious Provision: Referral Symmetry and Its Implications for Protecting Secular Conscience.Abram L. Brummett, Tanner Hafen & Mark C. Navin - 2024 - Hastings Center Report 54 (4):3-10.
    Abstract“Conscientious provision” refers to situations in which clinicians wish to provide legal and professionally accepted treatments prohibited within their (usually Catholic) health care institutions. It mirrors “conscientious objection,” which refers to situations in which clinicians refuse to provide legal and professionally accepted treatments offered within their (usually secular) health care institutions. Conscientious provision is not protected by law, but conscientious objection is. In practice, this asymmetry privileges conservative religious or moral values (usually associated with objection) over secular moral values (usually (...)
