Ethics Talk: Why Does It Matter When We Call Abortion "Elective"?

from Ethics Talk · host AMA Journal of Ethics

Labels commonly used in clinical settings, like "elective" or "therapeutic" influence how we think about the justifiability of abortion. We talk with Professor Katie Watson and Dr Maryl Sackeim about how the language clinicians use to describe abortion can affect patients' experiences and even cause harm.
