The Illusion Of Autonomy In Women's Medical Decision-Making, Jamie Abrams
The Illusion Of Autonomy In Women's Medical Decision-Making, Jamie Abrams
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article considers why there is not more conflict between women and their doctors in obstetric decision-making. While patients in every other medical context have complete autonomy to refuse treatment against medical advice, elect high-risk courses of action, and prioritize their own interests above any other decision-making metric, childbirth is viewed anomalously because of the duty to the fetus that the state and the doctor owe at birth. Many feminist scholars have analyzed the complex resolution of these conflicts when they arise, particularly when the state threatens to intervene to override the birthing woman’s autonomy. This article instead considers the …

The Consequences Of Abortion Restrictions For Women's Healthcare, Maya Manian
The Consequences Of Abortion Restrictions For Women's Healthcare, Maya Manian
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This Essay challenges the false assumption that abortion care can be segregated from women’s medical care and targeted for special restrictions without any effects on women’s health more broadly. As a matter of medical reality, abortion cannot be isolated from the continuum of women’s healthcare. Yet policymakers and the public have failed to understand the interconnectedness of abortion with other aspects of women’s medical care. In fact, existing abortion restrictions harm women’s health even for women not actively seeking abortion care, but these impacts remain obscured. For example, antiabortion laws and policies have spillover effects on miscarriage management, prenatal care, …
