Across the country, a raft of different abortion restrictions have left doctors unsure of when and how they can intervene to provide abortion care. Many of the laws have focused on doctors, threatening license suspension and criminal charges for those who defy abortion restrictions – which are often poorly defined and hard to decipher.

We want to hear about how doctors and other healthcare workers are navigating these restrictions. How has the quality and kind of care you can provide changed due to abortion restrictions? What sorts of situations are you finding patients in since abortion laws began to change? And what steps have you taken, if any, to work around new restrictions?

If we would like to publish your experience, we will contact you first.
