Imagining Coat‐Hangers and Pills
Objective We explored awareness of and attitudes about the safety of various methods people use to attempt to end a pregnancy without medical assistance, which we refer to in this study collectively as self‐managed abortion (SMA). Methods In 2020, we invited individuals living in eight United States (US) states considered “hostile” to abortion rights or with a history of criminalizing abortions performed outside the formal healthcare system to pa…
Medicalization as a social good? Lay perceptions about self-managed abortion, legality, and criminality
Interest in ending a pregnancy outside the formal healthcare sector, also known as self-managed abortion (SMA), is expected to increase in the wake of the overturning of Roe v Wade. However, there is little social scientific research on public perceptions of SMA, particularly regarding opinions around legality and criminalization. We seek to fill this gap in this paper by drawing on 54 in-depth interviews with a mixed-gender sample (men, women, n…
Going through it together
We sought to understand the meaning people who have given birth and have had an abortion ascribe to being accompanied by partners, family members and friends during these reproductive experiences. Incorporating this knowledge into clinical practice may contribute to improving the quality of these services, especially in abortion care, in which loved ones are often excluded. The study took place in Northern California in 2014. We conducted semi-st…
Chilean Medical and Midwifery Faculty's Views on Conscientious Objection for Abortion Services
CONTEXT: In 2017, Chile reformed its abortion law to allow the procedure under limited circumstances. Exploring the views of Chilean medical and midwifery faculty regarding abortion and the use of conscientious objection (CO) at the time of reform can inform how these topics are being taught to the country's future health care providers. METHODS: Between March and September 2017, 30 medical and midwifery school faculty from universities in Santia…
The Fine Line Between Informing and Coercing
Providers try to promote their young patients' autonomous decision making, but their support for high-efficacy methods can result in coercive practices. More training is needed to ensure that providers employ patient-centered counseling approaches, including honoring patient requests for removals
Anticipatory Counseling About Miscarriage Management in Catholic Hospitals
To respect patient autonomy, health care providers working in Catholic hospitals should routinely discuss institutional miscarriage management policies with patients, and anticipatory counseling should give patients the balanced information they need to decide where to go for care should pregnancy complications arise
Interprofessional Abortion Opposition
Interprofessional opposition to abortion is widespread in U.S. teaching hospitals. Interventions are needed that prioritize patients' needs while recognizing the challenges hospital colleagues face in their abortion participation decisions
Women's Expectation of Receiving Reproductive Health Care at Catholic and Non‐Catholic Hospitals
Many women do not realize the breadth of restrictions on reproductive health care at Catholic hospitals. Without institutional transparency, patient autonomy and health outcomes may be compromised
The Zero Trimester
Expanding the Abortion Provider Workforce
California's expansion of the abortion-providing workforce had a positive impact on patient care in the sampled organizations. However, various organizational obstacles must be addressed to more fully realize the benefits of having NPs, CNMs and PAs provide aspiration abortions
A good abortion experience
What do women ending their pregnancies want and need to have a good clinical abortion experience? Since birth experiences are better studied, birth stories are more readily shared and many women who have had an abortion have also given birth, we sought to compare women's needs and preferences in abortion to those in birth. We conducted semi-structured intensive interviews with women who had both experiences in the United States and analyzed their…
Referrals for Services Prohibited In Catholic Health Care Facilities
Some Catholic hospitals make it difficult for obstetrician-gynecologists to provide referrals for comprehensive reproductive services
Abortion Stigma Among Low‐Income Women Obtaining Abortions in Western Pennsylvania
Women's reactions to antiabortion attitudes may perpetuate abortion stigma. Further research is needed to inform interventions to address abortion stigma and improve women's abortion experiences
Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health
Wiley' s Corporate Citizenship initiative seeks to address the environmental, social, economic and ethical challenges faced in our business that are important to our diverse stakeholder groups. Since launching the initiative, we have focused on sharing our content with those in need, enhancing community philanthropy, reducing our carbon impact, creating global guidelines and best practices for paper use, establishing a vendor code of ethics, and …
The Stratified Legitimacy of Abortions
Roe v. Wade was heralded as an end to unequal access to abortion care in the United States. However, today, despite being common and safe, abortion is performed only selectively in hospitals and private practices. Drawing on 61 interviews with obstetrician-gynecologists in these settings, we examine how they determine which abortions to perform. We find that they distinguish between more and less legitimate abortions, producing a narrative of str…

Exploring the Role of Faith-Based Organizations in Addressing Adolescent Relationship Abuse
Adolescent relationship abuse (ARA) is prevalent with significant health and social consequences. Faith-based organizations could play an important role in ARA prevention and intervention. Studies on the role of faith-based organizations in interpersonal violence have focused on adult survivor perspectives rather than adolescents. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with faith-based organization leaders, parents, and youth. Findings highli…
Radical or routine? Nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, and physician assistants as abortion providers
In 2013 California passed legislation that expanded the pool of eligible aspiration abortion providers to include advanced practice nurses, nurse-midwives, and physician-assistants. This law, enacted in 2014, is based on evidence generated by the Health Workforce Pilot Project #171, which examined the safety and effectiveness of aspiration abortion care provided by these clinicians as well as patient acceptability and satisfaction. This evidence …

How Clinicians Develop Confidence in Their Competence in Performing Aspiration Abortion
In this article we explore how nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurse midwives in California (collectively referred to as clinicians) developed confidence while learning to provide vacuum aspiration abortion. We interviewed clinicians ( n = 30) who worked in reproductive health care settings and had participated in a large abortion-training study. Although the training had moral and political significance for the trainees, in this a…

Postabortion Contraception
Despite evidence about the safety and cost-effectiveness of postabortion LARC provision, many clinics are not offering it because of financial and logistical concerns, resulting in missed opportunities for preventing repeat unintended pregnancies

Obstacles to the Integration of Abortion Into Obstetrics and Gynecology Practice
The stigma and ideological contention surrounding abortion manifest themselves in professional environments as barriers to the integration of abortion into medical practice. New physicians often lack the professional support and autonomy necessary to offer abortion services

When There's a Heartbeat
As Catholic-owned hospitals merge with or take over other facilities, they impose restrictions on reproductive health services, including abortion and contraceptive services. Our interviews with US obstetrician–gynecologists working in Catholic-owned hospitals revealed that they are also restricted in managing miscarriages. Catholic-owned hospital ethics committees denied approval of uterine evacuation while fetal heart tones were still present, …
