MONTERO VEGA, Adela y RAMIREZ-PEREIRA, Mirliana. Notion and arguments on conscientious objection to abortion in Chile. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.49, pp.59-75. Epub 19-Oct-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.
This article describes the discourse of relevant actors on the notion and arguments of conscientious objection to abortion in Chile. The results show the complexity of addressing this issue. There are actors who consider conscientious objection a fundamental right. For others, it constitutes a privilege and a manifestation of legal inequality. The main arguments refer to freedom of conscience and religion. It is considered to contrast conscientious objection with conscientious commitment, and ethical reflection should be incorporated into the education and training of health teams. Monitoring and regulatory instances must be created to avoid violating the rights of women who may be affected by this objection.
Palabras clave : conscientious objection; conscientious commitment; abortion; sexual and reproductive healthcare.
