Abortion bans obstruct evidence-based medicine in pregnancies, medical society warns
A report from the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine says legal restrictions in 41 states prevent physicians from delivering standard care in high-risk pregnancies.
The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine released a statement Tuesday asserting that abortion restrictions across 41 states make it difficult or impossible for clinicians to practice "standard-of-care, evidence-based medicine" in maternal-fetal practice.
The organization says maternal-fetal specialists should view abortion care as a "core component" of their practice, particularly in states with legal restrictions on the procedure.
