Some doctors object to certain medical treatments based upon their own religious beliefs. Abortion and contraception are at the center of this debate. Such religious objections to legally available treatments raise complex questions about the professional obligations of physicians and the limits of their rights to abstain from providing (or participating in the provision of) certain medical interventions. We provide links to some articles discussing conscientious refusals by physicians, and a summary of some legal cases.
