Example text
Some will not want to remain pregnant and will elect induced abortion. Some will be uncertain about whether to continue the pregnancy. Respecting the autonomy of pregnant women means that physicians should respect this self-sorting, by limiting their role to providing information in a non-directive fashion (offering but not recommending induced abortion) that these women can use to resolve their uncertainty. Attempting to bias woman’s decision assumes, falsely, that physicians have the professional competence to decide for a woman with a previable pregnancy that she should or should not remain pregnant.

Direct referral appears not to be an option for physicians with a consciencebased objection to induced abortion or feticide, because of the explicit involvement of the physician in the subsequent termination of a pregnancy. To concomitantly respect the pregnant woman’s autonomy and the individual conscience of physicians opposed to induced abortion or feticide, an indirect referral for termination of pregnancy should be made. Indirect referral is both autonomy-based and beneficence-based. When it is obligatory to offer induced abortion or feticide, respect for the pregnant woman’s autonomy in previable pregnancies requires the physician to inform her that induced abortion or feticide is an option.
