“Right tool,” wrong “job”: Manual vacuum aspiration, post-abortion care and transnational population politics in Senegal
Publication date: June 2015 Source:Social Science & Medicine, Volume 135 Author(s): Siri Suh The “rightness” of a technology for completing a particular task is negotiated by medical professionals, patients, state institutions, manufacturing companies, and non-governmental organizations. This paper shows how certain technologies may challenge the meaning of the “job” they are designed to accomplish. Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is a syringe device for uterine evacuation that can be used to treat complications of incomplete abortion, known as post-abortion care (PAC), or to terminate pregnancy. I explore...

Birth, meaningful viability and abortion
What role does birth play in the debate about elective abortion? Does the wrongness of infanticide imply the wrongness of late-term abortion? In this paper, I argue that the same or similar factors that make birth morally significant with regard to abortion make meaningful viability morally significant due to the relatively arbitrary time of birth. I do this by considering the positions of Mary Anne Warren and José Luis Bermúdez who argue that birth is significant enough that the wrongness of infanticide does not imply the wrongness of late-term abortion. On the basis of the relatively arbitrary timing of bir...

The role of birth spacing, family planning services, safe abortion services and post abortion care in reducing deaths in reducing maternal deaths
Publication date: Available online 3 August 2016 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology Author(s): Bela Ganatra, Anibal Faundes Access to contraception reduces maternal deaths by preventing or delaying pregnancy in women not intending to be pregnant or those at higher risk of complications. However not all unintended pregnancies can be prevented through increase in contraceptive use and access to safe abortion is needed to prevent recourse to unsafe abortion. Safe abortion in early pregnancy can be provided at primary care level and by non-physician providers and risks of mortali...

Restrictions on Private Insurance Coverage of Abortion: A Danger to Abortion Access and Better U.S. Health Coverage
HIGHLIGHTS Antiabortion conservatives have long sought to eliminate private insurance coverage of abortion, and their main tactic in Congress has been to push for barring health plans from covering abortion if any part of the plan is paid for with federal dollars. Abortion coverage is already severely restricted and difficult to obtain in many parts of the United States, and further federal restrictions will make things worse for patients who need abortion care. The obsession with banning abortion coverage threatens broader efforts to expand and improve U.S. health insurance coverage and to make it more affordable.

Women's knowledge of their state's abortion regulations. A national survey
States vary significantly in their regulation of abortion. Misinformation about abortion is pervasive and propagated by state-mandated scripts that contain abortion myths. We sought to investigate women ’s knowledge of abortion laws in their state. Our secondary objective was to describe women’s ability to discern myths about abortion from facts about abortion.

SFP Clinical Recommendation: Management of individuals with bleeding or thrombotic disorders undergoing abortion
Individuals who have bleeding disorders, thrombophilias, a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE), or who are taking anticoagulation medication for other reasons may present for abortion. Clinicians should be aware of risk factors and histories concerning for excessive bleeding and thrombotic disorders around the time of abortion. This document will focus on how to approach abortion planning in these individuals. For first trimester abortion, procedural abortion (sometimes called surgical abortion) is generally preferred over medical management for individuals with bleeding disorders or who are on anticoagulation.

Generic Abortion Pill Maker Sues FDA to Protect Access
A generic-mifepristone maker sued the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to protect access to the medical abortion pill amid a welter of litigation stretching from Texas to Washington. The lawsuit by GenBioPro Inc., filed Wednesday in federal court in Maryland, comes as the U.S. Supreme Court delayed until Friday a decision on which restrictions on the pill will remain in place after a federal judge in Texas blocked the FDA’s approval of mifepristone in a separate lawsuit. GenBioPro makes most of the mifepristone sold in the U.S. It says in its suit that if the FDA is forced to comply with the Texas court order, the d...

Using telemedicine to improve early medical abortion at home (UTAH): a randomised controlled trial to compare telemedicine with in-person consultation for early medical abortion
Conclusions Telemedicine for medical abortion appeared to be effective, safe and acceptable to women, with less time spent in the clinic. However, due to the small sample size resulting from early cessation, the study was underpowered to confirm this conclusion. These findings warrant further investigation in larger scale studies. Trial registration number NCT04139382.

New Study On Post-War Romanian Abortion Policy Demonstrates That Restrictions Result In Maternal Mortality
A unique study published in today's edition of the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care1, provides new evidence about the causal links between restrictions to abortion policy and maternal mortality. The study demonstrates that limiting abortion does not prevent women from seeking pregnancy terminations but simply increases the risks they face. The study reveals women's fertility rate and abortion rates before, during and after the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu outlawed abortion in 1966 until his death in 1989...

Some comments on the paper 'After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?'
Giubilini and Minerva present a clear argument for the view that, other things being equal, reasons that justify abortion also hold for early infanticide.1 A reasoned argument deserves a reasoned response. Instead, many responses following the electronic publication of the article were mere outpourings of outrage and abuse to the authors and the editor of the Journal of Medical Ethics.2 The principal arguments put by Giubilini and Minerva date back some 40 years, when Michael Tooley presented a strong case for the moral equivalence of abortion and infanticide. According to Tooley, only ‘continuing selves’ ...
