The ongoing assault on abortion care in the United States culminating in the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v Wade calls for concerted national action to address the major gaps in care and training that will ensue. We write this call to action to our community of obstetrician-gynecologists to prioritize advocacy for access to abortion care. Professional health organizations understand the importance of access to contraception and abortion care as the foundation for reproductive health, autonomy, and empowerment. As restrictions proliferate, patients are encountering significant challenges in accessing care; all in our community who provide obstetrical and gynecologic care need to step up to ensure adequate and equitable patient care and provider training. In this Clinical Opinion, we outline current professional organization evidence-based support for comprehensive reproductive health care including abortion care, without interference by politics, strategies to proactively prevent further restrictions, and actions to mitigate the harm that will be caused by further restrictions to abortion care. We must all speak up, be visible in our support, and take any and every opportunity to advocate for abortion care as an integral part of comprehensive reproductive medical care.
美国对堕胎护理的持续攻击，最终导致最高法院推翻了罗诉韦德案的裁决，这需要采取协调一致的国家行动，解决随之而来的护理和培训方面的重大差距。我们向妇产科医生群体发出这一行动呼吁，要求优先倡导获得堕胎护理的机会。专业健康组织认识到获得避孕和堕胎护理的重要性，因为这是生殖健康、自主权和赋权的基础。随着限制的增多，患者在获得护理方面遇到了重大挑战；我们社区中所有提供产科和妇科护理的人都需要挺身而出，确保为患者提供充足和平等的护理和提供者培训。在本临床意见中，我们概述了当前专业组织对包括堕胎护理在内的全面生殖保健的循证支持，不受到政治的干扰，制定了积极预防进一步限制的策略，并采取行动减轻进一步限制堕胎护理所造成的伤害。我们都必须大声疾呼，明确表示支持，并抓住一切机会倡导将堕胎护理作为全面生殖医疗保健的一个组成部分。
