Thank you, dear community, for standing together in supporting people in all their pregnancy outcomes -- birth, abortion, or any of the many ways people experience transitions out of pregnancy. Thank you for standing with each other to strengthen all of our ability to show up and love folks as they move through these powerful transitions. 1,000 likes - amazing!

 I got to hear Khiara M. Bridges talk last week about her research on how poor women in the U.S. are stripped of their rights to privacy as they access healthcare.
It got me thinking about how doulas ask for information about clients. Can we talk about doula intake processes?
Here's info about Khiara and her awesome work: https://www.bu.edu/law/profile/khiara-m-bridges/  I just listened to the webinar summarizing the results of the big new report reviewing scientific evidence on The Safety and Quality of Abortion Care in the United States. So much data!
Most of it's not really a surprise, though:
You can download all 200 pages of the study here http://nationalacademies.org/hmd/Reports/2018/the-safety-and-quality-of-abortion-care-in-the-united-states.aspx Newly published research about how introducing abortion doulas into a clinic resulted in more patient-centered care + "Everyone Loves Someone Who Had An Abortion" mug from National Network of Abortion Funds + steaming hot coffee + sunbeam. The full article "Integrating Doulas Into First-Trimester Abortion Care: Physician, Clinic Staff, and Doula Experiences" is here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jmwh.12676/full  |
