Abstract:
The obstetric violence framework proposes that clinicians harm pregnant people through physical and psychological mistreatment and violations of autonomy. In this article, we analyze interviews with 54 obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs) practicing in US states with near-total abortion bans to show how similar harms may also be performed through actions of the state. Reframing obstetric harm to include the behind-the-scenes work of state legislators as a looming presence in the clinical encounter permits us to see OB-GYNs from a different vantage point, and to understand their role as experiencing - and not just perpetuating - obstetric harm.
