This panel will challenge current abortion advocacy, policy, and care delivery on its failure to include later abortion, identifying a pervasive and unexamined stigma around later abortion that conflicts with our core values. The panelists will begin a conversation about how to address it and dismantle the barriers between patients and their care.

This webinar was recorded on October 10, 2020.

Clinical recommendations, such as those described in this course, are grounded in the standard of care as determined by evidence-based research. They are distinct from legal requirements and restrictions governing abortion care, which are rarely grounded in evidence. The purpose of this course is to prepare clinicians to provide abortion care and medical recommendations do not vary based on practice location. However, abortion is not legal in all states and circumstances, and this course is not intended to aid in unlawful care. 
Physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, researchers, social workers, health educators and other healthcare professionals.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to: 

  1. Summarize who seeks later abortion care and why.
  2. Describe viability as a basis for abortion restrictions and how to manage discomfort with post-viability care.
  3. Analyze the harm, inherent discrimination and prevalence of gestational restrictions along with their being unchallenged by prevailing policy positions.
  4. Analyze the efforts to “codify Roe” in state-houses in order to assess whether this framework truly serves all abortion seekers.
  5. Demonstrate using language that affirms abortion seekers as moral decision-makers throughout pregnancy.
