Extract<\/strong>
Professionals have a prima facie<\/em> obligation to do what their profession requires. This is an uncontroversial principle. Equally uncontroversial is that our conscience is essential to our moral integrity. On any account of conscience (whether religious, philosophical or psychological), conscience encompasses core and self-identifying moral beliefs. Therefore, there is also a prima facie <\/em>duty to respect conscience. The issue of conscientious objection in healthcare is the issue of whether and how to strike a balance between these two prima facie<\/em> duties when they conflict with each other, for example, when doctors have a conscientious objection to abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
