Abstract

Misleading statements in a recent Obstetrics & Gynecology article require correction. No state has an abortion law that is a total ban on abortion. Every state law permits abortion when necessary to save a mother's life. Texas law does not require an "imminent" risk and allows a doctor to use his "reasonable medical judgment" to determine if an abortion is necessary to prevent a "risk" of maternal death. Similarly, Idaho allows a doctor to use his "good faith medical judgment" to determine when to intervene, without need for "immediacy".

亲生命法律中关于 "母亲生命 "例外情况的误导性陈述需要更正。

需要纠正《妇产科学》近期一篇文章中的误导性陈述。没有一个州的堕胎法是完全禁止堕胎的。每个州的法律都允许在挽救母亲生命的必要情况下进行堕胎。得克萨斯州的法律不要求 "迫在眉睫 "的风险，允许医生使用其 "合理的医学判断 "来决定是否有必要堕胎以防止产妇死亡的 "风险"。同样，爱达荷州允许医生使用其 "善意的医学判断 "来决定何时进行干预，而无需 "紧迫性"。
