Louisiana Abortion Patients’ Current Challenges Accessing Care

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: In March 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear June Medical Services, LLC v. Gee, the case that will decide whether Louisiana abortion providers need hospital admitting privileges. In a recent study of Louisiana abortion patients, PRC faculty research associate Kari White and colleague Erin Carroll compared patients’ expectations and preferences for care with their actual experiences accessing abortion services. From June 2018 – January 2019, the research team conducted 35 in-depth interviews with patients seeking care at the three in-state facilities. The study found that most women’s expectations and preferences for abortion care are not met in Louisiana’s current service environment and policy setting.
