The exceptionalism of abortion in public health education, due to social stigma, politicization, and lack of training, contributes to misinformation, policies unjustified by rigorous science, lack of access to person-centered health care, and systemic pregnancy-related inequities. Now that abortion access has vanished for large portions of the United States, following the Supreme Court decision in (), health educators must work to eliminate abortion-related silos, destigmatize abortion education, and bring comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and evidence to the many audiences that will require it. We discuss consequences of abortion exceptionalism in health education for the public, health care providers, pregnant people, and health professionals in training-and opportunities to better and more accessibly provide sexual and reproductive health education to these audiences.
由于社会耻辱感、政治化和缺乏培训，堕胎在公共卫生教育中的特殊性导致了错误信息、缺乏严格科学依据的政策、无法获得以人为中心的医疗保健以及与怀孕相关的系统性不平等。现在，由于美国大部分地区的堕胎机会已经消失，（）最高法院的裁决之后，健康教育者必须努力消除与堕胎相关的隔阂，消除堕胎教育的耻辱，并向许多需要的受众提供全面的性健康和生殖健康信息和证据。我们讨论了堕胎特殊性在公共卫生教育中对公众、医疗保健提供者、孕妇和受训卫生专业人员的后果——以及为这些受众更好、更便捷地提供性和生殖健康教育的机会。
