New paper in WRH #ReproductiveRights #DigitalJustice

Findings suggest that the changing legal landscape has created fear and uncertainty for OBGYNs, limiting how openly they discuss abortion and the overturning of Roe v. Wade on platforms like TikTok.

If you are attending @ASPOGau ASM, hope to see you at the breakfast panel discussion on #BirthTrauma tomorrow with @Ruby_Blues_ Dr Josephine Power & yours truly
Let’s tackle one of the most important issues of our time together
If not us, then who?
If not now, then when?

[Nisha Khot (She/Her) @Nishaobgyn]

It was a real wake-up discussion
We can’t continue to do the same thing and expect a different outcome
If women tell us that they have been harmed, we must listen & improve
And we absolutely MUST stop making this about us (healthcare providers)
