The US Supreme Court overturned <i>Roe v Wade</i> in June 2022, and now each state's legislature will decide if and when its citizens will have legal access to abortion care and if and when its physicians will be criminalized for providing what is considered to be the standard of care by multiple health-related organizations. This extraordinary change in the medico-legal landscape requires reevaluation of health profession codes of ethics related to clinician conscience. This article argues that these codes must now be expanded to address 2 newly critical areas: physician advocacy to make abortion illegal and affirmative protection for "conscientious provision" in hostile environments on par with protection of conscientious refusal.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 January 2024.
All research outputs
#5,461,944
of 25,992,468 outputs
Outputs from The AMA Journal of Ethic
#1
of 1 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#107,495
of 433,530 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The AMA Journal of Ethic
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,992,468 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 78th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one scored the same or higher as 0 of them.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 433,530 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
