Abstract
With continuing advances in diagnostic testing during the antenatal period, midwives are increasingly being exposed to women who may consider termination of their pregnancy for fetal abnormality. This can challenge the midwife’s personal beliefs and professional responsibilities, and could affect the staffing of maternity units. This first article in a series of two examines the legal and ethical issues surrounding termination of pregnancy and conscientious objection; a second article will address professional and supervisory issues.
