- Abstract
The article examines the attitudes of physicians who consider themselves as conscientious objectors to abortion in Bogota, Colombia. Topics covered include the decriminalization of abortion with the ruling of the Colombian Constitutional Court, the extreme objectors' refusal to perform abortions or make referrals and their tendency to provide misleading legal or medical information to prevent women from accessing abortion services and the characteristics of the moderate and partial objectors.
