Description

From 1973 until this past June, people in the United States with the capacity to be pregnant were able to access healthcare that could end a pregnancy, should they need. With the havoc of this law being overturned, the impact is far reaching extending beyond solely the person who is pregnant and extending to communities as well as into those considering family building options. Pregnancy is met with more fear as access for care in a crisis depends upon where you live. This recording will enable clinicians to understand the lightning rod that is abortion care and how it impacts their current and future patients.
