A scathing editorial about USAID’s work in AIDS prevention, and American interventions in general.
Month: August 2003
A new study says that provision of medical abortion by family physicians is safe, effective, and feasible. This seems obvious to me – an abortion is a minor medical procedure that is well within the skills of a general practitioner. It also seems to me that doctor who is familiar with a patient’s who life and medical history is better quipped for pre-abortion counseling than a specialist meeting a woman for the first time. Separating out abortion services comes from political pressure and American over-reliance on specialists.
Whatever one might feel about abortion, it’s hard to argue that women shouldn’t receive the safest health care possible. Two sites with information on medical abortion: The Center for Reproductive Health Policy and Research and The Access Project.
In some situations, stopping HIV medications can be beneficial.
