ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health β€” and the health of their pregnancies.

ICE is targeting people in hospitals and clinics, deterring people from accessing essential pregnancy care.

Many patients β€” nervous about encountering immigration officials β€” are skipping virtually all of their pregnancy-related health care.

The Truth About Third-Trimester Abortion Care My patients don’t need you to tell them about third-trimester abortions. They’ve lived it, writes Dr. Shelley Sella.

Did you know people from Europe have to go to the US and Mexico for most third trimester abortion care? Retired provider Dr Shelly Sella talks about performing third trimester abortions. She is not on Blue Sky but I highly recommend her Instagram channel.

Yet, within the context of abortion ine...
