This essay examines such issues and sets forth the view that such issues can and should be seen as (bio)ethical concerns. Whilst conscientious objection\u2014the right to opt-out of provision on the basis of clear ethical reservations\u2014is a legally and morally permissible stance that healthcare professionals can adopt, this does not mean those working in healthcare can simply elect not to be providers absent a clear ethical rationale. Furthermore, simple non-provision would seem to contravene the basic tenants of medical professionalism as well as the oft raised claims of the healthcare professions to put the needs of patients first. Recognizing that much of the progress that has been made over the past three decades can be attributed to the efforts of dedicated healthcare professionals who have dedicated their careers to meeting the profession\u2019s collective responsibilities in this area of women\u2019s health and reproductive healthcare, this paper frames the matter as a collective ethical lapse on the part of healthcare professionals, the healthcare professions and those involved in the management of healthcare institutions. Whilst also acknowledging that a range of complex factors have led to the present situation, that a variety of steps need to be taken to ensure the proper delivery of services that are comprehensive, and that there has been an absence of critical commentary and analysis of this topic by bioethicists, I conclude that there is a need to (re)assess the provision of abortion in Australia at all levels of service delivery and for the healthcare professions and healthcare professionals to take lead in doing so. That this ought to be done is clearly implied by the healthcare profession\u2019s longstanding commitment to prioritizing the needs of patient over their own interests.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40592-024-00215-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,9]],"date-time":"2024-09-09T03:09:12Z","timestamp":1725851352000},"page":"200-219","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The provision of abortion in Australia: service delivery as a bioethical concern"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8199-4673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathan","family":"Emmerich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"215_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1464","DOI":"10.1111\/1471-0528.16668","volume":"128","author":"Ara Aiken","year":"2021","unstructured":"Aiken, Ara, Pa.
