Shifting laws and regulations increasingly displace the centrality of women's health concerns in the provision of abortion services. This is exemplified by the growing presence of deceptive Crisis Pregnancy Centers alongside new informed consent laws designed to dissuade women from seeking abortions. Litigation on informed consent is further complicated in the clinical context due to the increased mobilization of facts - such as the gestational age or sonogram of the fetus - delivered with the intent to dissuade women from accessing abortion. In other words, factual information utilized for ideological purpose. To preserve a woman's autonomy and decision-making capacity, there must be a concerted effort on the part of legislators and courts to place a woman's health at the center of abortion law and policy.
不断变化的法律法规日益取代了妇女健康问题在堕胎服务提供中的核心地位。这一点体现在欺骗性的危机怀孕中心越来越多，以及旨在劝阻妇女寻求堕胎的新的知情同意法的出现。在临床环境中，由于为劝阻妇女堕胎而提供的事实（如胎儿的孕周或超声检查结果）的动员增加，知情同意方面的诉讼变得更加复杂。换句话说，将事实信息用于意识形态目的。为了维护妇女的自主权和决策能力，立法者和法院必须共同努力，将妇女健康置于堕胎法律和政策的核心位置。
