Robert Card criticises our proposal for managing some conscientious objections in medicine. Unfortunately, he severely mischaracterises the nature of our proposal, its scope and its implications. He also overlooks the fact that our proposal is a compromise designed for a particular political context. We correct Card's mischaracterisations, explain why we believe compromise is necessary and explain how we think proposed compromises should be evaluated.
