Preparing For A Post-Roe World.

Changes in the make-up of the Supreme Court make an overturn of the Roe v Wade decision a realistic possibility. In order to mitigate any adverse health consequences that could result from a change in the law, all stakeholders in women's health have to start to plan for that contingency. These stakeholders include physicians, nurse midwives, nurses, their professional organizations, health advocacy groups, health policy experts, and legislators. Among the tasks for physicians and their professional organization, we include education about the management of women injured by unsafe abortions, post residency training for physicians with reduced access to residency training in abortion, and planning for the management of medically complicated pregnancies that are often currently terminated (e.g. Eisenmenger's syndrome). In this piece we argue for preparation for a potential post-Roe world.
