Abortion Decisions As Humanizing Acts: The Application Of Ambivalent Sexism And Objectification To Women-Centered Anti-Abortion Rhetoric, Rachel L. Dyer, Olivia R. Checkalski, Sarah Gervais
Abortion Decisions As Humanizing Acts: The Application Of Ambivalent Sexism And Objectification To Women-Centered Anti-Abortion Rhetoric, Rachel L. Dyer, Olivia R. Checkalski, Sarah Gervais
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
Women-centered anti-abortion rhetoric, grounded in ostensibly positive beliefs that pregnant people are precious objects who must be protected from having abortions, has proliferated anti-abortion activism and legislation. However, abortion stigma, marked by negative perceptions of people who terminate pregnancies, is the most widely used theoretical tool for understanding the social and psychological implications of abortion. In this article, we first integrate these two seemingly contradictory perspectives on abortion through the lens of ambivalent sexism theory. We then argue that ambivalent sexism paves the way for objectifying perceptions and treatment of pregnant people; specifically, our typology of reproductive objectification provides a …
Abortion Pills, David S. Cohen, Greer Donley, Rachel Rebouché
Abortion Pills, David S. Cohen, Greer Donley, Rachel Rebouché
Articles
Abortion is now illegal in roughly a third of the country, but abortion pills are more widely available than ever before. Though antiabortion advocates and legislators are attacking pills with all manner of strategies, clinics, websites, and informal networks are openly facilitating the distribution of abortion pills, legally and illegally, across the United States. This Article is the first to explain this defining aspect of the post-Roe environment and the novel issues it raises at the level of state law, federal policy, and on-the-ground advocacy.
This Article first details antiabortion strategies to stop pills by any means necessary. These tactics …
Vaginal Bacterial Infection Is Associated With The Occurrence Of Spontaneous Abortion During The First Trimester, Abd El-Monsef Abdelghaffar Moustafa
Vaginal Bacterial Infection Is Associated With The Occurrence Of Spontaneous Abortion During The First Trimester, Abd El-Monsef Abdelghaffar Moustafa
Al-Azhar International Medical Journal
Background: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a serious disorder that may be detrimental to a woman's health. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a vaginal microsystem disorder that seems to be connected to a higher risk of abortion, early birth, and puerperal endometritis. 60 percent of all vaginitis types are caused by BV. The purpose of this research is to explore whether vaginal bacterial infection is connected to spontaneous abortion during the first trimester. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on 120 pregnant women on the first trimester diagnosed with spontaneous abortion during the first trimester. Results: No significant difference in …

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal
Background: Missed abortions may be treated with a number of medicinal and surgical procedures. Surgical methods include vacuum aspiration and dilatation and curettage. Letrozole, aromatase inhibitor, binds to iron in P450 cytochrome in reversible & competitive manner, preventing aromatase from producing oestrogen. Aim: To compare impact of using letrozole before misoprostol in 1st trimester termination of non-viable pregnancy to use of misoprostol alone. Subject & techniques: This was prospective randomized clinical trial include 100 patients with history of missed abortion confirmed by ultrasonography at Al-Hussein Hospital & Al-Azhar University Cairo. Results: Curettage was significantly increased in group 1 compared with …
The Promise Of Telehealth For Abortion, Greer Donley, Rachel Rebouché
The Promise Of Telehealth For Abortion, Greer Donley, Rachel Rebouché
Book Chapters
The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed a transformation of abortion care. For most of the last half century, abortion was provided in clinics outside of the traditional healthcare setting. Though a medication regimen was approved in 2000 that would terminate a pregnancy without a surgical procedure, the Food & Drug Administration required, among other things, that the drug be dispensed in person. This requirement dramatically limited the medication’s promise to revolutionize abortion because it subjected medication abortion to the same physical barriers of procedural care.
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, that changed. The pandemic’s early days exposed how the …
Missed Abortion Termination With Misoprostol In The First Trimester Using Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Level As A Predictive Factor, Abdelghany A. Gowied, Ahmed M. Tharwat, Heba M. Abo Shady, Mohamed A. S. Kandil
Missed Abortion Termination With Misoprostol In The First Trimester Using Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Level As A Predictive Factor, Abdelghany A. Gowied, Ahmed M. Tharwat, Heba M. Abo Shady, Mohamed A. S. Kandil
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the ability of using beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) serum level as a predictive factor for medical abortion success within 24 h after using misoprostol. Background Serum β-hCG levels decline compared with gestational age when medical abortion is delayed owing to late diagnosis. This makes serum β-hCG more effective in predicting abortion success than gestational age. Kim and colleagues found that β-hCG lower than 40 000 mIU/ml may be a predictive factor of successful abortion within 24 h after misoprostol administration. Patients and methods This is an observational study where serum β-hCG …

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestational age. Our study investigated whether mucin 4 (MUC4) polymorphisms are associated with RPL. MUC polymorphisms (rs882605 C>A, rs1104760 A>G, rs2688513 A>G, rs2258447 C>T, and rs2291652 A>G) were genotyped in 374 women with RPL and 239 controls of Korean ethnicity using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and the TaqMan probe SNP genotyping assay. Differences in genotype frequencies between cases of RPL and the controls were compared. MUC4 rs882605 C>A and rs1104760 A>G polymorphisms were …
Protecting A Woman’S Right To Abortion During A Public Health Crisis, San Juanita Gonzalez
Protecting A Woman’S Right To Abortion During A Public Health Crisis, San Juanita Gonzalez
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
As COVID-19 infected our nation, states were quick to issue executive orders restricting various aspects of daily life under the pretense of public safety. It was clear at the outset that certain civil liberties were going to be tested. Among them, the constitutional right to an abortion.
This comment explores Texas’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the limitations it imposed on abortion access. It will attempt to address the legitimacy of the “public health concerns” listed in executive orders issued throughout numerous states and will discuss the pertinent legal framework and judicial scrutiny to apply.
According to the Fifth …
La Política Cultural Del Aborto: Las Percepciones Y El Manejo Del Aborto En Arica, Chile, Eva Strelitz-Block
La Política Cultural Del Aborto: Las Percepciones Y El Manejo Del Aborto En Arica, Chile, Eva Strelitz-Block
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Chile has a long history of restricting access to legal abortion. Until 2017, when the government passed the law N° 21.030 decriminalizing abortion on three grounds, abortion was completely illegal. However, despite this movement towards decriminalization, legal abortion access is still very limited and highly restricted. In this criminalized, highly stigmatized environment, self-managed abortion has emerged as a way to transform the landscape of abortion. This qualitative, exploratory study seeks to explore perceptions of abortion and practices of abortion management both within and outside of the official healthcare system among women and people with the capacity to become pregnant and …

The Relationship Of Abortion, Dog Management And Neospora Caninum In Dairy Herds In Taiwan, Hsu-Hsun Lee, Chen-Chih Chen, Yi-Lun Tsai, Shyh-Shyan Liu, Po-An Yueh, Huan-Yu Hsu, Ai-Mei Chang
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Neospora caninum (N. caninum) has caused an abortion storm in dairy herds for two decades in Taiwan. There is no effective medicine for N. caninum infection for livestock, therefore, prevention by farm management is very important. The risk factors for N. caninum infection in Taiwan is still unclear. Dogs are the common definitive hosts of N. caninum on farms. This study aims to estimate the sero-prevalence and detection of N. caninum DNA in 361 pregnant dairy cows and establish an effective strategy to prevent abortion caused by N. caninum in dairy farms in Taiwan by logistic regression. The sero-prevalence of …
Ensuring Abortion Rights For Womxn*, Mary Dillon
Ensuring Abortion Rights For Womxn*, Mary Dillon
2022 HCIR
Abortion is not just a women's issue, but a serious topic for all people who have a uterus. Whether they are trans, nonbinary, or intersex, the fight for abortion rights is also their fight. Giving them a voice is essential to the fight for abortion as not only is banning abortion blatantly anti-women but anti-trans. The misogynistic and homophobic bills across the country that have severely limited access to abortions need to be stopped. Additionally, to ensure Roe stays in place, The Women's Health Protection Act must be passed in order to save abortion nationwide.

As aggressive cultural and legislative attacks on abortion rights and access continue, we call upon social workers to pursue the liberatory aims of the reproductive justice (RJ) movement. We argue that the RJ framework, rooted in feminist theory, aligns with social work’s social justice ethos and goals, appropriately guiding advocacy and intervention. After outlining the central aims and tenets of the RJ movement, we consider policies that impair RJ and those that could promote RJ, focusing on enhancing body sovereignty, childbearing, and parenting. We conclude with concrete recommendations for how social workers can pursue RJ professionally and personally.
Anti-Abortion Crisis Pregnancy Centers In Central Florida, Isabel Adamus
Anti-Abortion Crisis Pregnancy Centers In Central Florida, Isabel Adamus
Honors Program Theses
Anti-abortion pregnancy centers, also known as crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), are nonprofit organizations that target pregnant women and aim to dissuade them from considering abortion. In the U.S., CPCs are increasing in prevalence, accumulating government/state funding and support, and becoming more medicalized. Medicalization includes offering limited medical services, such as pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, and testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). CPCs are largely unlicensed and unregulated, frequently advertising in misleading ways and providing inaccurate health information. The goal of this research is to (1) understand how CPCs in Central Florida utilize rhetorical strategies to frame their services and health …
The New Abortion Battleground, David S. Cohen, Greer Donley, Rachel Rebouché
The New Abortion Battleground, David S. Cohen, Greer Donley, Rachel Rebouché
Articles
This Article examines the paradigm shift that is occurring now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. Returning abortion law to the states has spawned perplexing legal conflicts across state borders and between states and the federal government. This article emphasizes how these issues intersect with innovations in the delivery of abortion, which can now occur entirely online and transcend state boundaries. The interjurisdictional abortion wars are coming, and this Article is the first to provide the roadmap for the immediate aftermath of Roe’s reversal and what lies ahead.
Judges and scholars, and most recently the Supreme …
Pain That Only She Must Bear: On The Invisibility Of Women In Judicial Abortion Rhetoric, Francesca Laguardia
Pain That Only She Must Bear: On The Invisibility Of Women In Judicial Abortion Rhetoric, Francesca Laguardia
Department of Justice Studies Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
The graphic and bodily facts of a legal question of rights are relevant to the courts, particularly in questions that directly implicate physical bodies and pain, such as right to die cases, or what level of search may be allowable and when. However, in the case of abortion, or more specifically the bodily ramifications of pregnancy and childbirth, this detail is conspicuously absent. This article, relying on a content analysis of over 220 legal opinions on abortion rights, documents this absence of rhetoric. Particularly in the context of other discussions of pain and physical health risks in these very same …

Abortion, Pregnancy Loss, & Subjective Fetal Personhood, Greer Donley, Jill Wieber Lens
Abortion, Pregnancy Loss, & Subjective Fetal Personhood, Greer Donley, Jill Wieber Lens
Articles
Longstanding dogma dictates that recognizing pregnancy loss threatens abortion rights—acknowledging that miscarriage and stillbirth involve a loss, the theory goes, creates a slippery slope to fetal personhood. For decades, anti-abortion advocates have capitalized on this tension and weaponized the grief that can accompany pregnancy loss in their efforts to legislate personhood and end abortion rights. In response, abortion rights advocates have at times fought legislative efforts to support those experiencing pregnancy loss, and more recently, remained silent, alienating those who suffer a miscarriage or stillbirth.
This Article is the first to argue that this perceived tension can be reconciled through …

Inverse probability weighted (ipw) multivariable regression conducted in R. In bivariate analysis BCI was shown to be significantly linked with rising cannabis …
Medication Abortion Exceptionalism, Greer Donley
Medication Abortion Exceptionalism, Greer Donley
Articles
Restrictive state abortion laws garner a large amount of attention in the national conversation and legal scholarship, but less known is a federal abortion policy that significantly curtails access to early abortion in all fifty states. The policy limits the distribution of mifepristone, the only drug approved to terminate a pregnancy so long as it is within the first ten weeks. Unlike most drugs, which can be prescribed by licensed healthcare providers and picked up at most pharmacies, the Food and Drug Administration only allows certified providers to prescribe mifepristone, and only allows those providers to distribute the drug to …
The Public Health Turn In Reproductive Rights, Rachel Rebouché
The Public Health Turn In Reproductive Rights, Rachel Rebouché
Washington and Lee Law Review
Over the last decade, public health research has demonstrated the short-term, long-term, and cumulative costs of delayed or denied abortion care. These costs are imposed on people who share common characteristics: abortion patients are predominantly low income and disproportionately people of color. Public health evidence, by establishing how law contributes to the scarcity of services and thereby entrenches health disparities, has vividly highlighted the connections between abortion access, race, and income. The contemporary attention to abortion law’s relationship to inequality is no accident: researchers, lawyers, and advocates have built an infrastructure for generating credible empirical studies of abortion restrictions’ effects. …
Decreasing Unintentional Pregnancies For Tennesseans, Paula M. Todd
Decreasing Unintentional Pregnancies For Tennesseans, Paula M. Todd
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In 2018, 49% of all pregnancies in the United States were unintended, with women with a lower- income status being five times more likely to experience an unplanned pregnancy. Tennessee has a high rate of unintended pregnancies, particularly among the uninsured, low-income, and rural teen populations; some 22% of these unintended pregnancies end in abortion. Oral or transdermal contraceptives that are affordable and accessible for women of childbearing age can reduce unintentional pregnancies. The addressed gap in clinical practice was that contraceptives are not currently available over the counter in Tennessee pharmacies without a prescription, which necessitates a costly medical …
The Hidden Child: Analyzing The Cyclical Nature Of Statelessness And Violations Of Reproductive Autonomy, Simone Lieban Levine, Kelsey J. Peden
The Hidden Child: Analyzing The Cyclical Nature Of Statelessness And Violations Of Reproductive Autonomy, Simone Lieban Levine, Kelsey J. Peden
The Journal of International Relations, Peace Studies, and Development
Statelessness is a reproductive justice issue. When states explicitly or implicitly regulate or restrict reproduction, it results in children being born into statelessness. When there is a risk that a child will be born into statelessness, it both impacts the parents’ ability to parent with dignity and can have a chilling effect on the parents’ decision to have a child in the first place. In this way, statelessness results both in and from violations of reproductive autonomy. To combat statelessness, the international human rights community must use a reproductive justice lens to examine the ways that policies related to regulating …
An Examination Of Oppression Via Anti-Abortion Legislation, Saphronia P. Carson
An Examination Of Oppression Via Anti-Abortion Legislation, Saphronia P. Carson
The Pegasus Review: UCF Undergraduate Research Journal
Significant disparities in reproductive health care access and outcomes exist along race, ethnicity, and income lines. One of the starkest examples of this is the dramatic reduction in abortion access over the past 45 years that disproportionately affects minority and low-income women. While existing literature has exposed these disparities and potential reasons for them, there is less attention to the ways reduced access to reproductive health care, specifically abortion, can coerce, exploit, and systematically oppress women of color and low-income women. This research uses a reproductive justice framework to discuss the impact of anti-abortion legislation and the anti-abortion movement on …

Perspectives On Self-Managed Abortion Among Providers In Hospitals Along The Texas– Mexico Border, Sarah Raifman, Sarah E. Baum, Kari White, Kristine Hopkins, Tony Ogburn, Daniel Grossman
School of Medicine Publications and Presentations
Background
Following self-managed abortion (SMA), or a pregnancy termination attempt outside of the formal health system, some patients may seek care in an emergency department. Information about provider experiences treating these patients in hospital settings on the Texas-Mexico border is lacking.
Methods
The study team conducted semi-structured interviews with physicians, advanced practice clinicians, and nurses who had experience with patients presenting with early pregnancy complications in emergency and/or labor and delivery departments in five hospitals near the Texas-Mexico border. Interview questions focused on respondents’ roles at the hospital, knowledge of abortion services and laws, perspectives on SMA trends, experiences treating …
Second-Trimester Abortion Dangertalk, Greer Donley, Jill Wieber Lens
Second-Trimester Abortion Dangertalk, Greer Donley, Jill Wieber Lens
Articles
Abortion rights are more vulnerable now than they have been in decades. This Article focuses specifically on the most assailable subset of those rights: the right to a pre-viability, second-trimester abortion. Building on Carhart v. Gonzales, where the Supreme Court upheld a federal ban on a safe and effective second-trimester abortion procedure, states have passed new second-trimester abortion restrictions that rely heavily on the woman-protective rationale—the idea that the restrictions will benefit women. These newer second-trimester abortion restrictions include bans on the Dilation & Evacuation (D&E) procedure, bans on disability-selective abortions, and mandatory perinatal hospice and palliative care counseling …

“It Didn’T Matter What The Bill Said...”: Influences On Abortion Policy Legislative Decision-Making In Georgia, Erica Barton, Subasri Narasimhan, Dabney P. Evans
Journal of the Georgia Public Health Association
Background: In March 2019 the Georgia legislature passed HB 481 described as a “heartbeat bill”, prohibiting abortion at around six weeks gestation. Given the prevalence of anti-abortion legislation and the public health implications of abortion restrictions, we sought to understand how Georgia legislators made decisions on this early abortion ban legislation.
Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with nine legislators from the Georgia House of Representatives who participated in the 2019 legislative session. In-depth interviews were conducted in-person and over the phone. Interview recordings were transcribed verbatim and inductive codes identified. Codes focused primarily on views of: abortion in general; specific …
