Spatial dimensions of telemedicine and abortion access: a qualitative study of women's experiences.
Katherine EhrenreichCicely MarstonPublished in: Reproductive health (2019)
Using telemedicine helped patients reduce burdens created by policies requiring attendance at multiple appointments in a state with limited abortion services. Attending to spatial aspects of abortion provision helps identify how these different dimensions of abortion access interact to reduce access and impose undue burdens. Telemedicine can improve privacy, reduce travel expenses, and reduce other burdens for women seeking abortion care.
