		<description><![CDATA[A newly published landmark study by ANSIRH demonstrates that trained nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, and physician assistants match physicians in the safety of aspiration abortions they provide. We hope that these results will give policymakers the evidence they need to move beyond physician-only restrictions in order to enable more women to have their reproductive [...]]]></description>

Despite being on the last day of the conference and running opposite two other panels addressing abortion, our session on abortion stigma was well-attended. My co-panelists, brought together by International Planned Parenthood [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives voted to ban abortions after 20 weeks of gestation for women in Washington, DC. Organizational press releases and media coverage by friendly pundits decried this act by focusing either on a selected set of women&#8217;s stories or on the unconstitutionality of the ban itself. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was a bad day for women&#8217;s health science. Just a few hours ago, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sibelius invoked her authority over the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and reversed their pending decision to remove the age-based restriction on over the counter access to emergency contraception (EC). EC is a safe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I continue my review of the 2010 legislation passed in Oklahoma regarding abortion. H.B. 2656, which was approved with a legislative override of the governor&#8217;s veto in 2010, prohibits pregnant women and their families from seeking legal damages if health care providers knowingly or negligently withhold important information or provided inaccurate information to them about [...]]]></description>

AUL developed this new ranking as a direct response to NARAL Prochoice America&#8217;s annual report “Who Decides,” which has a similar rating system [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, the Guttmacher Institute released its latest abortion provider survey with three talking points: the decline in the U.S. abortion rate has stalled; the number of providers remains unchanged; and abortion providers experience significant acts of harassment. Each of these items deserves its own blog post, but to keep this one short, I will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, MTV hosted a special episode of 16andPregnant, entitled “No Easy Decision,” in which a young couple Markai and James (previously featured on the show continuing an earlier pregnancy) talked about their decision to have an abortion. They were then joined by two other women who had abortions in their teen years. For days leading [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No one expects TV to accurately portray medical issues. All of us have watched and even enjoyed shows where characters use therapies that haven&#8217;t been invented or undergo treatments to repair organ damage in ways that aren&#8217;t biologically plausible. So I guess I shouldn&#8217;t be shocked when the issue of abortion is handled in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the frequency with which women need abortions (annually 1.2 million women will have an abortion and 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in their lifetime), abortion is still very hard to discuss. After 20 years of studying this contentious issue, the silences in public health and reproductive health professional settings still surprise [...]]]></description>
