New Report Concludes Abortion is Safe, Quality Care

A new, rigorous report by the nonpartisan National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) is conclusive: Abortion is safe, quality care.


The NASEM report authors write that: “The quality of abortion care depends to a great extent on where women live. In many parts of the country, state regulations have created barriers to optimizing each dimension of quality care. The quality of care is optimal when the care is based on current evidence and when trained clinicians are available to provide abortion services.” - NASEM Report, page S-8

The NASEM report also lays out the biggest threat to quality abortion care: Medically unnecessary regulations that target abortion providers, limited training opportunities and a lack of public funding that push abortion care out of reach.
​
Yet Wisconsin politicians continue to support harmful restrictions – trying to prevent women from getting abortion care by misleading them, delaying care, requiring unnecessary tests, making care more expensive and attempting to shut down reproductive health clinics.

The Wisconsin Alliance for Women’s Health believes that every Wisconsin woman should be able to access quality abortion care without barriers.

That’s why we are joining with the National Partnership for Women & Families to launch a new campaign to call out the biggest threat to quality abortion care: Wisconsin politicians!
Join the Campaign!
Get the Facts

Wisconsin Politicians:
Force women to wait 24 hours after receiving biased information before being able to obtain abortion care. As a result of the mandatory delay, a woman seeking abortion care must make a medically unnecessary second trip to the clinic.

The NASEM Report:
States clearly that “requirements, such as multiple visits and waiting periods, delay abortion services, and by doing so may increase the clinical risks and cost of care. They may also limit women’s options for care and impact providers’ ability to provide patient-centered care.” (NASEM report, page 2-26)
