It's a real threat, and I think a lot of [doctors] are understandably fearful. But Ferrari stresses that the fact that your OB-GYN probably doesn't perform abortions should absolutely not deter your from talking to them about all of your options. They shouldn't feel judgement from the physician if that physician doesn't perform the procedure. Ferrari also encourages patients to look up an institution online or call into their main office prior to making an appointment with a physician.
When my own OB-GYN declined to provide me with an abortion, it was frustrating to know I'd have to make a few more phone calls before I could get the care I needed.

Six days later, I found myself handing a urine sample to a nurse and waiting gratefully for my doctor to arrive in the exam room. Help was on the way. Truly, I could not remember a moment when my husband and I had been together long enough to conceive a pregnancy. I remembered hazy moments of closeness, of struggling to connect across the vast distance created by my bodily trauma and pain, but I do not recall sex.
