Midwifery and APRN Scope of Practice in Abortion Care in the Early Post-Roe Era: Everything Old Is New Again.
Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health 2023 December 12
Over the past 10 years, there has been a rapid expansion of legal and legislative changes in abortion care provision for advanced practice clinicians (APCs), including nurse practitioners, midwives, and physician associates (formerly physician assistants), with most of that expansion occurring in the last several years. This expansion has occurred via several routes (eg, legislative, popular vote, court decision, attorney general opinion), and the patchwork of legal statuses nationally creates confusion for clinicians who are unclear on current regulations. This review explores the historical context of abortion practice for APCs, as well as the primary philosophical and legal concepts relevant to this role development. Since 2012, the number of states permitting abortion practice by APCs has more than quintupled, and the changes to abortion law in the United States in the wake of the 2022 Supreme Court decision in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Center creates a new imperative to understand the role of APCs in accessing abortion care. Additionally, although the research on abortion safety for APC abortion providers is well-established, the physician-centered paradigm of abortion care has limited the ability of APCs to develop expertise in this essential public and clinical health service.
