Conscientious Objection or conscientious refusal (CO) in access to reproductive health care is at the center of current legal debates worldwide. In countries such as the US and the UK, constitutional dilemmas surrounding CO in the context of reproductive health services reveal inadequate policy frameworks for balancing CO rights with women's rights to access contraception and abortion. The Colombian Constitutional Court's holistic jurisprudence regarding CO standards has applied international human rights norms so as to not only protect women's reproductive rights as fundamental rights, but to also introduce clear limits for the exercise of CO in health care settings. This paper reviews Latin American lines of regulation in Argentina, Uruguay, and Mexico City to argue that the Colombian Court's jurisprudence offers a strong guidance for future comprehensive policy approaches that aim to effectively balance tensions between CO and women's reproductive rights.
在获取生殖健康护理方面的良心拒服兵役或良心拒绝（CO）是当前全球法律辩论的核心。在美国和英国等国家，围绕生殖健康服务中的良心拒服兵役的宪法困境揭示了在平衡良心拒服兵役权利与妇女获得避孕和堕胎权利方面政策框架的不足。哥伦比亚宪法法院关于良心拒服兵役标准的整体判例法适用了国际人权规范，以便不仅将妇女的生殖权利作为基本权利加以保护，而且还为在医疗环境中行使良心拒服兵役规定明确的限制。本文回顾了阿根廷、乌拉圭和墨西哥城的拉丁美洲监管方针，以论证哥伦比亚法院的判例法为未来旨在有效平衡良心拒服兵役与妇女生殖权利之间紧张关系的全面政策方法提供了有力指导。
