Now Ci'erra Larsen of @EmoryRollins speaking on Barriers to Abortion Access for Young Southerns: A Qualitative Analysis of @ARC_Southeast

#SFP2022
**TRIGGER WARNING FOR UPCOMING CONTENT**

Young people reported financial barriers and overcame these with:
- Selling possessions
- Formal and informal loans
- Short term employment

#SFP2022
Young people also reported
- Exhausted social networks for support
- Privacy concerns
- Threats to personal safety

They also reported fear of family separation secondary to their pursuit of healthcare triggering ICE involvement.

#SFP2022
Young people modified their behaviors and tried to minimize COVID exposures in order to prevent an infection from interfering with their reproductive healthcare through delay/rescheduling.

This study is a great example of the research that can come out of abortion funds. Larsen says it was an honor to work alongside @ARC_Southeast to find barriers and innovations to care delivery.

Closing with the session: Collateral Damage: Graduate Medical Education in Post-Dobbs US

#SFP2022
Where you train is where you work. Half of physicians stay in the states where they do their residency, so there is unlikely to be spontaneous sharing of abortion knowledge across communities. Healthcare inequities will continue to rise.

While this panel will focus on medical specialities, including OBGYNS and FM residents who are some of the most diverse subspecialties, there are so many trainees impacted by abortion restrictions including @ACNMmidwives and @GeneticCouns not to mention Pediatric and EM

Next up: Is less more? A critical appraisal of medication abortion follow up with @VitalaGlobal @uoftobgyn @Stanford @Gynuity @UTAustin and Alamo Women's Health Clinic in Albuquerque

#SFP2022
Mifepristone approval/access has grown in so many ways:
- Globally access improved
- Indications for use expanded
- Methods of delivery expanding (telemedicine, meds by mail)

#SFP2022 Image
In Europe, Germany had the lowest uptake of medication abortion. This might be due to low reimbursement for simple and safe care in Germany and medication abortion is so safe!

Patient Confidentiality as a Reproductive Justice Issue session by @prhdocs and @ifwhenhow

#SFP2022
Speaker Alejandra Pablos shares her story #KeepAleFree and encourages others to do so too through @AbortionStories. She says her story of fighting deportation, being detained and says that fighting for abortion rights are an intuitive extension of her goals and values.

#SFP2022 Image
Dr. Perritt @Reprorightsdoc encourages the audience to center on their own positionality. We focus on disclosures in medicine, but positionality - where we grew up, who we are, how the world sees us - are probably more important in framing our actions.

Dr. Henkle: Breast engorgement after 2nd trimester abortion is common, under appreciated and under treated. There is poor evidence for non pharmacologic interventions (cabbage leaves). CABERGOLINE is a safe, well tolerated treatment to prevent this. Downside: COST

#SFP2022
There are several important contraindications to cabergoline including hypertension.

#SFP2022
Dr. Henkel explains that there is evidence for symptomatic lactogenesis as early as 16w, but for the study they restricted to >18w
