Misreading Medicine: Statutory Prohibitions of Abortion for Disability.
J Med Humanit
January 2025
S.J. Quinney College of Law, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
Abortion prohibitions in some states include carve-outs based on the medical condition of either the mother or the fetus. These carve-outs, however, may be couched in limiting language structured by legislators rather than in language understandable in the context of medical care. In circumstances where legislative bodies fail to adequately incorporate medical professionals in the drafting of medical laws, the resulting vagueness or ambiguity may lead to a lack of utility or viability.

Article Synopsis
- Introduction of long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) for HIV prevention showed effectiveness, and this study examines its safety and pharmacokinetics in pregnant women participating in the HPTN 084 trial during a blinded period.
- In the study, pregnant participants were divided into two groups receiving either CAB-LA or TDF/FTC, with careful monitoring of pregnancy outcomes and maternal adverse events, finding that there was no significant difference in adverse event rates or poor pregnancy outcomes between the two groups.
- The analysis revealed a total of 57 confirmed pregnancies over 3845 person-years, with 81% resulting in live births, and the study concluded that CAB-LA did not result in significantly different safety or outcomes

Article Synopsis
- - In Brazil, there are over 800,000 abortions annually, with around 250,000 women requiring emergency care for complications from unsafe abortions.
- - A proposed bill would make it a felony for patients to undergo abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy, even in legally permissible situations, which contradicts several UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and gender equality.
- - One suggested solution to the abortion issue in Brazil is to enhance investment in sexual education for adolescents to help reduce the need for unsafe procedures.

University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Family Planning, Aurora, CO, United States.
Objectives: To assess changes in type of abortion, gestational duration, and changes in the proportion of out-of-state residents at a university-affiliated clinic in Denver, Colorado after Texas passed Senate Bill 8 (SB 8) that banned abortion after embryonic cardiac activity can be detected.
Study Design: We reviewed records of all visits of patients obtaining an abortion ≤22 weeks and 6 days gestation between January 2019 and June 2022. We created two time periods: before SB 8 (January 2019-August 2021) and after SB 8 (September 2021-June 2022).

Background: Unmet need for birth spacing can significantly impact maternal and child health outcomes, leading to unintended or mistimed births, neonatal mortality, pregnancy loss, induced abortions, small-sized births, and malnutrition. Considering the role of women empowerment in women's sexual and reproductive health, we examined the association between the survey-based women's empowerment index (SWPER) and unmet need for spacing in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
Methods: We used data from the Demographic and Health Surveys of 21 in SSA conducted between 2015 and 2021.
