A new "Viewpoint" from Elizabeth Sepper LLM, Kari White, PhD, MPH, and Anitra Beasley, MD, MPH is now out in?JAMA. On March 22, 2024, in response to calls for clarity to Texas's ambiguous language on medical exceptions to abortion, the Texas Medical Board proposed a new rule. As this Viewpoint in JAMA explains, the Board has not provided clarity to the language that has stymied appropriate clinical care. Its proposed rule, instead, would erect additional hurdles to life- and health-saving abortions. The only meaningful solution is to return the resolution of such critical medical issues to patients and their physicians.

We would like to give thanks to our board for joining us for our first planning meeting as Resound Research for Reproductive Health. We are so grateful for your expertise, and we look forward to your guidance as we work in to advance a shared vision of?equitable abortion, contraception and pregnancy-related care that is obtainable for all.

Congratulations, Anna Chatillon--and thank you to the Society of Family Planning for our recent grant award for "Minors’ experiences navigating to out-of-state abortion care." This grant will allow us to investigate minors’ ability to seek, reach, pay for, and engage with abortion care in Southeastern, Midwestern, and Mountain West states. We hope to improve outreach to minors seeking abortion care, inform strategies to reduce travel burdens, and adjust facility practices to better support young people’s care experiences.
