NPA Webinar
Interference in the Patient-Provider Relationship and Access to Abortion
Recorded Monday, July 27, 2015 from 9:00 – 10:00 PM EST
State legislatures that are hostile to abortion rights are increasingly using regulation of medical practice as a way to limit access to abortion, a trend that should be of concern to all physicians. We will talk about the escalation of this tactic and some of the bills that we have seen in the past couple of years that directly mandate how care is provided. For background, please take a look at the Bad Medicine report available at www.badmedicine.org.
