Telemedicine in Abortion Care

In March 2020, right during the Coronavirus pandemic, both France and the United Kingdom liberalised abortion regulations: women were allowed to be consulted about abortion care remotely through telemedicine and to take abortion medications at home. Medication abortions conducted by telemedicine increase access to safe abortion and recent research conducted on this topic shows that it gives people a strong sense of privacy, confidentiality, convenience and autonomy.

A discussion with researchers who conducted pioneering research:

• Hazal Atay, doctoral student at Sciences Po’s Center for Political Science (CEVIPOF), LIEPP affiliate
• E. Chloe Romanis, Assistant Professor in Biolaw at Durham University, United Kingdom
• Jordan A. Parsons, Research Associate and PhD Candidate in Medical Ethics and Law at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom

Moderation by Emmanuelle Levrier, Research Assistant at Sciences Po.

The Webinar will be introduced by Hélène Périvier, Sciences Po’s Gender Studies Programme (PRESAGE) Director and Anne Revillard, Head of Sciences Po’s Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Public Policies (LIEPP).

Registration is mandatory.
