An abortion doula research bibliography

This bibliography is the result of a few requests recently from people looking for citations on abortion doulas.

I'm calling this a "Research Bibliography" and limiting it to research/academic/print publications. A bibliography of blog posts, zines, news articles, and podcasts would be much longer. I realize the distinction I'm drawing here is somewhat arbitrary and that it recapitulates an often artificial distinction between academia and the rest of the world, but it gives me a way to put tight boundaries on this project so I can get it posted.

Is there anything I've missed that you would include on this list? Please leave a comment or email me at fullspectrumdoulacircle@gmail.com.

    ​Full-Spectrum Doula Circle

    Doulas traditionally provide
    ​
    non-medical, empowering support for birth. Full-spectrum doulas provide the same kind of support for the
    full spectrum of pregnancy outcomes, including abortion.


    We do this to create a culture of compassion, love, and justice in which all people have the freedom and resources they need to make free choices about their bodies and their families.

    Full-Spectrum Doula Circle connects abortion/full-spectrum doulas and other reproductive support people
    with information, education, and each other, to increase skills, decrease burnout, and deepen our wells of support,
    with an emphasis on providing digital resources to connect doulas who are geographically dispersed.
