If the guiding principle in my life is non-absolutism, then my job as a physician is to acknowledge another person’s truth and recognize that our truths may not be synonymous. For this reason, I find it incredibly important to provide both prenatal care and abortion care in my practice. They should not be siloed. Providing solely prenatal care can send a message: I will help you if you continue the pregnancy, but I won’t if you don’t continue the pregnancy.
