“Conscience-based objection” is a term that has been around a long time. Since the pandemic and a number of political and legal efforts in the nation, the term has been employed more frequently. But what is a conscience-based objection? What are the ethical considerations around when and how one might have a claim of conscience? What is required of a clinician when it might impact a patient’s right to access care? What is required of a leader or employer? We talk with legal bioethicist Thaddeus Pope to discuss issues around conscience-based objections in health care.
