In this paper we consider the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on access to abortion care in Great Britain (GB) (England, Wales, and Scotland) and the United States (US). The pandemic has exacerbated problems in access to abortion services because social distancing or lockdown measures, increasing caring responsibilities, and the need to self-isolate are making clinics much more difficult to access, and this is when clinics are able to stay open which many are not. In response we argue there is a need to facilitate telemedical early medical abortion in order to ensure access to essential healthcare for people in need of terminations. There are substantial legal barriers to the establishment of telemedical abortion services in parts of GB and parts of the US. We argue that during a pandemic any restriction on telemedicine for basic healthcare is an unjustifiable human rights violation and, in the US, is unconstitutional.

英国和美国的COVID-19和生殖司法:确保在全球大流行期间获得堕胎护理。

在本文中,我们考虑了COVID-19大流行对英国(英格兰)(英国,威尔士和苏格兰)和美国(美国)获得堕胎护理的影响。该大流行病加剧了获得堕胎服务的问题,因为社会距离或封锁措施,护理责任的增加以及自我隔离的需求使门诊变得更加困难,而这正是门诊能够开放的时候,许多不。作为回应,我们认为有必要促进远程医疗的早期医学流产,以确保需要终止治疗的人获得基本医疗保健。在英国部分地区和美国部分地区建立远程医疗堕胎服务存在很大的法律障碍。
