This review discusses the importance of abortion care and access for mental wellbeing for people seeking abortion, abortion providers, and trainees. The recent Dobbs v. Jackson case has jeopardized the physical and mental health of millions.
Much of the data regarding mental health impacts of abortion access comes from the Turnaway Study. This study supports that abortion does not cause negative mental health effects and being denied abortion is detrimental to mental health, physical health, and has negative socioeconomic impacts. Other recent studies support that the Dobbs decision continues to disproportionately harm historically marginalized groups. Additionally, there is more anxiety and depression reported in states with abortion restrictions. Many obstetrician gynecologists are moving away from restricted states and report moral distress due to restrictions. Many medical students are choosing not to apply to obstetrics and gynecology residency programs in states with abortion restrictions. Access to abortion care is important for mental and physical health, and socioeconomic well-being for people seeking abortion. Restrictive bans negatively affect people seeking abortion, as well as healthcare providers and trainees.
本综述探讨了堕胎护理以及堕胎机会对于寻求堕胎者、堕胎提供者和实习生心理健康的重要性。最近的多布斯诉杰克逊案危及了数百万人的身心健康。
许多关于堕胎机会对心理健康影响的数据来自“未获堕胎机会研究”。该研究支持堕胎不会造成负面心理健康影响，而被拒绝堕胎则对心理健康、身体健康有害，并产生负面社会经济影响。其他近期研究表明，多布斯案的裁决继续对历史上被边缘化的群体造成更大伤害。此外，在有堕胎限制的州，焦虑和抑郁的报告更多。许多妇产科医生正离开限制堕胎的州，并报告称因这些限制而感到道德困扰。许多医学生选择不申请在有堕胎限制的州的妇产科住院医师项目。获得堕胎护理对寻求堕胎者的身心健康以及社会经济福祉很重要。限制性禁令对寻求堕胎者以及医疗保健提供者和实习生都有负面影响。
