Trust Women”
Considerable demand exists for medication abortion care from Shield Law providers. The MAP demonstrates that providers can trust women and other pregnancy capable people to decide for themselves whether to obtain medication abortion pills by mail and to pay what they can afford without being required to justify their need. Identifying ways to support Shield Law provision and further subsidize abortion care are needed
The Struggle for Bodily Autonomy
Current activism around self-managed abortion (SMA) in the United States is born out of innovation, resistance, resilience, and necessity. This article examines the historical origins of SMA in the United States from an activist perspective and outlines the opportunities and challenges that SMA presents to people having expanded control over their reproductive lives
Understandings of self-managed abortion as health inequity, harm reduction and social change
This commentary explores how self-managed abortion (SMA) has transformed understandings of and discourses on safe abortion and associated health inequities through an intersection of harm reduction, human rights and collective activism. The article examines three primary understandings of the relationship between SMA and safe abortion: first SMA as health inequity, second SMA as harm reduction, and third SMA as social change, including health sys…

Family medicine physicians and advanced practice clinicia…

Abortion Restrictions in the U.S. Military
Implications of the Federal Abortion Ban for Women's Health in the United States
In 2007, the US Supreme Court upheld the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, also known as the Federal Abortion Ban or “the Ban.” The decision undermines decades of established US abortion law that had recognised the preservation of the health of women as a paramount consideration. The Ban asserts that the state's interests in how an abortion is performed and in fetal life override women's rights. It thus further erodes access to safe and leg…
Advanced Practice Clinicians as Abortion Providers
A hopeful note in the contemporary abortion environment in the United States is the expanding role of advanced practice clinicians — nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurse-midwives — in first trimester abortion provision. A large percentage of primary health care in the US is currently provided by these non-physicians but their involvement in abortion care is promising, especially in light of the shortage of physician providers. Two …
