Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Social Science
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Abortion providers have historically noted the underrepresentation of patients' voices in the abortion rights movement.
  • This absence is seen as a political disadvantage, raising questions about the appropriateness of patient political engagement in care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore abortion providers' perspectives on whether, why, and how they engage patients politically.
  • To understand the philosophical divides among providers regarding patient political engagement as part of care.

Main Methods:

  • Interviews were conducted with providers from 14 abortion clinics with diverse characteristics.
  • Transcripts were analyzed to identify themes concerning the political engagement of abortion patients.

Main Results:

  • Many providers limited or avoided political engagement, citing concerns about patient care, time constraints, and perceived patient disinterest.
  • Some providers believed political outreach improved patient understanding, could impact future access, and was integral to patient care.

Conclusions:

  • Provider approaches to patient political engagement vary significantly, reflecting different philosophies and motivations.
  • The act of seeking an abortion may represent a form of patient activism, especially with increasing access limitations.
