Abstract

Giubilini et al offer 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' statements elsewhere about the conscientious refusal of care. Third, there are risks that attend to professional associations supporting practitioners who break the law, and yet Giubilini et al do not give sufficient attention to this. This response will briefly discuss these three concerns.

关于一致性的重要性:对 Giubilini 等人的回应
Giubilini 等人对出于良心提供医疗服务,以及在禁止或严格限制堕胎的情况下,专业协会是否应该以及在何种情况下应该支持出于良心提供堕胎服务进行了一些有益的思考。不过,我对文章中提出的论点持保留意见。首先,文章利用萨维塔-哈拉帕纳瓦尔(Savita Halappanavar)一案来证明其关于出于良心提供堕胎服务的中心论点是有问题的。其次,这篇文章与作者在其他地方关于出于良心拒绝提供医疗服务的说法明显不一致。第三,支持违法从业者的专业协会存在风险,但 Giubilini 等人并未对此给予足够重视。本文将简要讨论这三个问题。
