Resumen

En respuesta a la crisis de atención médica de las mujeres solidificada por la decisión Dobbs de la Corte Suprema, luego de la cual la mitad de los estados podrían prohibir el aborto (y potencialmente la fertilización in vitro, la anticoncepción de emergencia e incluso el tratamiento para el embarazo ectópico y el aborto espontáneo parcial o “callejón”). ), la profesión médica ha respondido con declaraciones que condenan el fallo, marchas de protesta, agendas de investigación para estudiar las consecuencias (con resultados fácilmente predecibles en los próximos años que solo serán ignorados por los legisladores anticientíficos) y estableciendo soluciones alternativas (p. , barcos en alta mar, un moderno “ferrocarril de superficie”, etc.) para brindar servicios de aborto a quienes lo necesitan y/o lo desean.[i],[ii]
