Anatomy of an unsafe abortion
I was in clinic when I heard the overhead STAT page to the emergency room.
As I sprinted down the stairs, I ran through the possible scenarios. I wasn’t on call, so the day to day gynecologic emergencies weren’t my purview. I hadn’t operated on anyone in the past few weeks, so unlikely to be one of my own patients with a complication.
The attack on reproductive rights in states all across the nation has led to decreased access for poor and immigrant women. We must speak up and fight for autonomy over our own bodies.
