Wednesday, February 22, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Dear John,

As a reminder, Health Affairs will be at Datapalooza tomorrow at Booth 19. Stop by during exhibit hours to meet some of the Health Affairs team including Senior Editor Sarah Dine, Director of Digital Strategy Patti Kurtz, and Senior Account Executive Ilona Aigro.
In this month’s Narrative Matters essay, Rachel Jensen, an abortion care provider, shares stories from the front line and urges physicians to defend abortion care access within their communities.

"I am extremely fortunate to practice medicine in a state where abortion is legal and protected, where my patients face only the usual obstacles of limited providers, inadequate insurance, and lack of social supports," Jensen explains.

This is not the case across the country, and Jensen will soon be practicing in a state where she can only provide abortion care only through twenty weeks’ gestational age, except in rare circumstances, and Jensen will be legally obligated to read a standardized script to her patients, no matter their specific situation.

Jensen calls on physicians, regardless of specialty, to speak out on the necessity of access to abortion care.

"Physicians are by no means the most important participants in this dialogue, but reticence is unacceptable," writes Jensen. "Abortion providers are burning the candle at both ends, trying to provide the best possible care for our patients while now having to fight for the right to provide that care in the first place."
