title: [Conscientious objection of health personnel in the recent Organic Law 2/2010, about sexual and reproductive health and voluntary interruption of pregnancy].
abstract: The main goal of the paper is to analyse and evaluate the recent Organic Law 2/2010, and its prescriptions referring to the conscientious objection of health personnel in relation to the voluntary interruption of pregnancy. The paper starts studying conscientious objection: its raison d'être, its delimitation, its recognition by the Spanish regulation. Further on, the paper focuses on the article 19.2° of the Organic Law 2/2010, underlining on the one hand the positive aspects (such as the formal requirements for the objection), and on the other hand the negative ones (such as suspicion over objectors).
