- Summary:
- American law categorically protects clinicians who invoke conscience to refuse standard care, from Plan B to IVF. Yet clinicians enjoy no conscience protections when they offer prohibited care, as in states that restrict abortion. Dov Fox exposes the untenable logic of this lopsided system and argues for urgently needed reform.
