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 participate in semi-structured telephone interviews regarding their attitudes toward these practices. We analyzed coded transcripts for content and themes.

Study Design: We conducted virtual semistructured interviews with 39 participants aged 16 to 19 residing in the Midwest between April and June 2023, exploring participant reactions to state policies on abortion and gender-affirming care.

Yet, there remains a gap in the literature regarding why this trend exists.

Background: Advance provision of medication abortion, or the prescription of mifepristone and misoprostol before pregnancy occurs, is an unexplored care model aimed at expanding abortion access. We examine motivations for obtaining advance provision from the online telemedicine service, Aid Access, which supports people in the United States.

Methods: Between May and November 2023, we conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 39 people who obtained advance provision between January 2022 and April 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • The obstetric violence framework highlights how clinicians can inflict physical and psychological harm on pregnant individuals, often violating their autonomy.
  • In this study, interviews with 54 OB-GYNs in US states with strict abortion laws reveal that state actions can contribute to these harms within clinical settings.
  • By recognizing the influence of state legislators, we can better understand OB-GYNs as victims of systemic factors rather than solely as perpetrators of obstetric violence.
