Alabama ’s Abortion Ban Isn’t Only About Abortion. Opponents Are Afraid it May Drive Doctors Out of the State
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on May 15 signed into law the strictest abortion ban in the country, sparking fears not only about abortion access, but also about how the policy could worsen disparities that already endanger the health of women living in the south.
The law, set to become enforceable in six months, bans nearly all abortions at all stages of pregnancy, with exceptions only for serious threats to the mother’s health. It also makes performing abortions a crime for doctors, who could be convicted of a felony and face up to 99 years in prison. Until the law is enforced, abortion is still legally available in Alabama...

Publication date: Available online 19 November 2019Source: The Lancet PsychiatryAuthor(s): Julia R Steinberg, Thomas M Laursen, Nancy E Adler, Christiane Gasse, Esben Agerbo, Trine Munk-OlsenSummaryBackgroundSuicidal ideation due to abortion has been used to justify restrictive US abortion policies. Much research examining abortion and mental health has relied on self-report, has had low participation rates, and did not consider confounding factors. In the present study, we used data that do not rely on self-report and are not affected by low participation rates to examine the association between abortion and non-fatal sui...

Knowledge, attitude and practice towards abortion and post abortion care among Egyptian private obstetricians and gynaecologists.
Conclusions: The majority of private obstetricians/gynaecologists in Ismailia, Egypt, do not perform abortions for unwanted pregnancies because of their religious beliefs. Post-abortion screening for STDs and family planning services are not sufficiently integrated into post-abortion care.

Prime ‐time abortion on Grey's Anatomy: What do US viewers learn from fictional portrayals of abortion on television?
CONCLUSIONSThese findings suggest that entertainment television can contribute to meaningful increases in viewers' knowledge about abortion, but that the potential for impact of entertainment-education is closely linked to episode content and moderated by state-level abortion policy.

“It just seemed like a perfect storm”: A multi-methods feasibility study on the use of Facebook, Google Ads, and Reddit to collect data on abortion-seeking experiences from people who considered but did not obtain abortion care in the United States
by Heidi Moseson, Jane W. Seymour, Carmela Zuniga, Alexandra Wollum, Anna Katz, Terri-Ann Thompson, Caitlin Gerdts
Most studies of abortion access have recruited participants from abortion clinics, thereby missing people for whom barriers to care were insurmountable. Consequently, research may underestimate the nature and scope of barriers that exist. We aimed to recruit participants who had considered, but fa iled to obtain, an abortion using three online platforms, and to evaluate the feasibility of collecting data on their abortion-seeking experiences in a multi-modal online study. In 2018, we recruited participants fo...

Blog: Why attacks on legal abortion are a trade union matter
On 2 October last year, UNISON was proud to stand in solidarity with the thousands who marched in cities across the UK, and in other parts, of the world to protest against new limits on abortions in Texas.
Now it seems the US supreme court has voted to overturn Roe v Wade – a momentous ruling that will result in abortion becoming immediately illegal in an estimated 26 states when it is officially issued.
This latest development is one of many attacks by governments on a woman’s right to choose across the world.
The Polish government has brought in a near-total ban on abortion in that country, only permitted now in cas...

Doctors in Anti-Abortion States Now Have No Idea When They ’re Allowed to Save a Pregnant Person’s Life
One of the first patients emergency medicine physician Dr. Taylor Nichols ever treated on his own was a woman who had an ectopic pregnancy—a dangerous condition in which a fertilized egg grows outside the uterus, potentially causing life-threatening bleeding if it ruptures the organ in which it’s growing. She came into the hospital stable. By the time Nichols examined her, she was hemorrhaging.
Nichols got her into emergency surgery, where an ob-gyn operated to save the patient’s life. By that point, it was clear there was no other option. But had he been practicing in a state where ending a pregnancy is ...

For People With Disabilities, Losing Abortion Access Can Be a Matter of Life or Death
These days, Flora Ellis’s mother keeps a stash of morning-after pills in a closet in their Oklahoma home. That’s not just because she’s a “cool mom,” although Ellis, 20, confirms that she is. It’s because Ellis was born with a connective-tissue disorder that prevents her body from properly making collagen. In addition to limiting her mobility and contributing to frequent injuries, Ellis’s condition means that pregnancy comes with a chance of organ rupture.
Now that abortion is banned in Oklahoma, neither Ellis nor her mother want to take chances. Ellis’s health issues prevent...

California Gov. Newsom Says ‘ We ’ re Done ’ With Walgreens After Abortion Pill Policy
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared that the state will stop doing business with Walgreens after the drugstore chain said it will not distribute mifepristone, a drug that is part of the most common method of abortion in the country, in some states where abortion remains legal.
“California won’t be doing business with @walgreens — or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women’s lives at risk,” Newsom declared in a Monday afternoon tweet. “We’re done.”

Here ’ s What the 1870s Comstock Act Has to Do With Abortion Pills
WASHINGTON — A 19th century “anti-vice” law is at the center of a new court ruling that threatens access to the leading abortion drug in the U.S.
Dormant for a half-century, the Comstock Act has been revived by anti-abortion groups and conservative states seeking to block the mailing of mifepristone, the pill used in more than half of U.S. abortions.
On Friday, a federal judge in Texas sided with Christian conservatives in ruling that the Comstock Act prohibits sending the long-used drug through the mail.
Here’s at look at the case and the law:
What happened?
In a sweeping ruling, U.S. District Judg...

What Happens Next in the Fight Over Abortion Pills
Now that a Texas judge has ruled that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s approval of the abortion pill, mifepristone, is suspended, what happens to the supply of the drug?
The judge gave the Department of Justice (DOJ), which represents the FDA, until Apr. 14 to file an appeal before the suspension of the drug takes place. Both the DOJ and the drug’s maker, Danco, have filed appeals asking the Fifth Circuit Court to issue a stay on removing the drug’s approval.
Making things more complicated, soon after the Texas judge’s ruling, a district court judge in Washington issued an opposing deci...

Mifepristone Is Under Legal Threat. The Other Abortion Pill Could Be Next
The abortion pill mifepristone has been on uncertain legal ground ever since a Texas judge ruled that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s approval more than two decades ago should be suspended. After the Department of Justice appealed the decision and requested that the Supreme Court step in, the high court decided that mifepristone should remain available while courts continue to decide its legal fate in a potentially lengthy appeals process.
With one abortion pill in legal limbo, experts are now worried about possible threats to the other one: misoprostol. The drug is FDA approved to treat ulcers and, whe...

Abortion Bans Fail in Conservative South Carolina and Nebraska
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Abortion bans in deeply conservative Nebraska and South Carolina each fell a single vote short of passing in their legislatures amid heated debates among Republicans, yet another sign that abortion is becoming a difficult issue for the GOP.
As the last vote was cast in Nebraska, where abortion is currently banned after 20 weeks of pregnancy, cheers erupted outside the legislative chamber, with opponents of the bill waving signs and chanting, “Whose house? Our house!”
In South Carolina, Republican Sen. Sandy Senn criticized Majority Leader Shane Massey for repeatedly “taking us ...
