Ethical Issues On Abortion
Abortion issues represents a genuine ethical dilemma in the healthcare settings. Unfortunately, support for the physician's right of conscience has not been universal. In the U.S are now an estimated 1.5 million abortions each year making abortion the most common surgical procedure (Dr, 2017, p. 1264). Yet there are fewer and fewer abortion providers available. Some maintain that physicians who refuse to provide all legal services should have their professional licenses revoked. Opponents voice two reasons for objection: Doctors no longer have extraordinary privileges because of the prominence accorded to patient autonomy; and doctors have the duty to provide all legal services.
Unfortunately, doctors continue to offer abortion care because
deeply-held, core ethical beliefs compel them” (Masson, 2012). All patients have the right to voice their opinion about their health and the doctor must abide by their judgment (Morrison & Furlong). Abortion has always been an important topic that a lot of people including officials do not like to tread such dangerous waters. I personal believe that everyone has a choice to do what she wants to do with her body, however, the picture is not that black and white.
