WEBINAR 2 JUNE: What does the empirical evidence on self-managed abortion tell us?A growing body of evidence shows that self-managed medication abortion is safe and effective in early pregnancy, as well as in later pregnancy provided individuals can access post-abortion care if needed . Yet legal risk remains, as laws and policies fail to protect people who self-manage their abortion and those who help them. This panel series will explore the interplay between empirical evidence on the safety and efficacy of self-managed abortion and laws, policies, and their application. We will bring together empirical researchers and legal experts to explore the state of the evidence, the state of the law, and relationships between the two in the context of self-managed medication abortion in the US and around the world. Panel 1: What does the empirical evidence on self-managed abortion tell us?In this first panel, presenters will describe scientific research on safety and efficacy of self-managed abortion. Panelists will present research on user satisfaction, accompaniment models, and hotlines and discuss empirical evidence underlying WHO’s recommendations on self-managed abortion.
Spanish-English interpretation will be offered.
Presented by the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University Beasley School of Law, O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University Law Center, Ibis Reproductive Health, and If/When/How Lawyering for Reproductive Justice
