During this session, Dr. Moayedi will invite participants to analyze the abortion care landscape in Texas by understanding both the past and present of ”how we got here”; evaluate the consequences of abortion restrictions on medical education and pregnancy care in Texas; and through the discussion at the end of the session conceptualize strategies for transforming our work and sustaining ourselves through ongoing assaults on medical care and human rights.
