JO - BMC Medical Ethics SP - 15 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Conscientious objection has spurred impassioned debate in many Western countries. Some Norwegian general practitioners (GPs) refuse to refer for abortion. Little is know about how the GPs carry out their refusals in practice, how they perceive their refusal to fit with their role as professionals, and how refusals impact patients. Empirical data can inform subsequent normative analysis. SN - 1472-6939 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6939-15-15 DO - 10.1186/1472-6939-15-15 ID - Nordberg2014 ER -
