- Abstract
This article analyzes the regulations and jurisprudence regarding conscientious objection, the legal authorization for the voluntary termination of pregnancy and their relationship. It focuses on the development and evolution that these rules have had as guarantors of the rights to freedom of conscience and sexual freedom, as well as the reproductive self-determination of women and, as a result, possible solutions are shown in the face of conflict events or conflict between the rights, when the medical and sanitary personnel refuse to carry out the porcedures protecting their own religious beliefs or their moral principles. As a methodology, a qualitative research was developed based on information obtained from the jurisprudential, doctrinal analysis and interviews. This allowed a description, classification, explanation and interpretation of data, as well as interviews. It was possible to determine the current situation of the causes under which the practice of voluntary interruption of pregnancy is legal and the possible events of moral objection by medical personnel. Likewise, it was concluded that whenever the medical procedure is requested within the legal parameters, the provision of the service must be ensured. Likewise, the right to object to the practice of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy is personal and can never be claimed as an institutional policy.
