How reversing Roe v. Wade will affect physicians and patients
“These changes on the horizon for our country are unlike anything we have ever experienced. We have only experienced an expansion of rights for those who have been denied fair treatment. Going backwards only infringes our ability to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Future laws that could be overturned include Griswold v. Connecticut, protecting the right of marital privacy against state restrictions on contraception.
As an experienced physician with a strong interest in patient safety, I feel the need to educate our patients about potential changes in their health care because of this possible decision and ask for their partnership in getting out the vote for candidates that would support women’s rights. Time is of the essence.”
Susan Mann and Haywood L. Brown are obstetrician-gynecologists.
They share their stories and discuss the KevinMD article, “Reproductive and abortion care is health care.”
