EXPLANATION ON VOLUNTEERS AND TYPES OF SERVICES OR BENEFITS
FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6
THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVES THE SERVICES OF A NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS DURING THE YEAR. THE VALUE OF THIS CONTRIBUTED TIME IS NOT REFLECTED IN THE AUDITED STATEMENTS AS THEY DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR RECOGNITION. THE ESTIMATED VALUES OF THESE DONATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: LEGAL CONSULTATION: 13,485
FIRST ACHIEVEMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
STRONG ANTI-ABORTION CULTURES. WITH LITTLE HELP TO PREVENT PREGNANCY, FEW FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO HELP PAY FOR ABORTION CARE, AND THE THREAT OF ISOLATION OR EVEN HARASSMENT WITHIN HER COMMUNITY, THE HEALTH AND AUTONOMY OF A WOMAN LIVING IN ONE OF THESE STATES IS AT RISK. THE LEAST ACCESS STATES INITIATIVE ACTS ON THE BELIEF THAT IMPROVED ACCESS TO ABORTION CARE IS BOTH NEEDED AND POSSIBLE. FUNDING HAS BEEN SECURED TO LAUNCH A PROJECT TO EXPAND ACCESS TO ABORTION IN THOSE STATES THAT ARE THE MOST POLITICALLY CHALLENGING, HAVE THE LEAST ACCESS, AND THE FEWEST RESOURCES DEDICATED TO ABORTION CARE. WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO SUSTAINABLY IMPROVE ACCESS TO ABORTION WHERE IT IS MOST CONSTRICTED IS ONE OF THE MANY WAYS AAP IS USING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS GAPS IN ABORTION ACCESS. RURAL ABORTION PROVIDER INITIATIVE: A 50 MILE DRIVE CAN BE ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING OBSTACLES A WOMAN FACES WHEN SEEKING A SAFE ABORTION. DISTANCE FROM AN ABORTION PROVIDER MEANS MORE THAN JUST 2 OR MORE HOURS IN THE CAR OR ON A BUS. FOR MANY WOMEN, PREPARING TO TRAVEL INCLUDES ARRANGING FOR CHILDCARE AND NEGOTIATING TIME OFF WORK. UPON ARRIVING IN WHAT IS OFTEN AN UNFAMILIAR AREA, A WOMAN CAN BE TOLD TO WAIT, FORCED IN MANY STATES TO OBSERVE A MEDICALLY UNNECESSARY WAITING PERIOD. EXTRA NIGHTS IN A HOTEL, AWAY FROM WORK AND FAMILY, CAN EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE THE BURDEN ON A WOMAN SEEKING ABORTION CARE. COMBINED WITH WAITING PERIODS, DISTANCE CAN TRANSFORM A SHORT PROCEDURE OR CONSULTATION WITH A CLINICIAN INTO A MULTIPLE DAY EVENT. THE RURAL ABORTION PROVIDER INITIATIVE ACTS ON THE BELIEF THAT EARLY ABORTION CARE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO EVERY WOMAN IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE SHE LIVES. OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT NO WOMAN NEEDS TO TRAVEL MORE THAN 50 MILES OR 2 HOURS TO GET THE EARLY ABORTION SERVICES SHE NEEDS. WE WORK WITH DOCTORS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IN THESE MEDICALLY-UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN ORDER TO MAKE EARLY ABORTION SERVICES AVAILABLE TO WOMEN. OUR ON-THE-GROUND ORGANIZERS MEET PERSONALLY WITH RURAL DOCTORS TO IDENTIFY THEIR UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND HEAR THEIR IDEAS ON SOLUTIONS. WE PROVIDE CLINICIANS WITH THE CONCRETE SUPPORT THEY NEED, WHETHER IT BE PROCURING EQUIPMENT, ORGANIZING TRAINING, OR CONNECTING THEM WITH OTHER DOCTORS TO BUILD A NETWORK OF SUPPORT. MISCARRIAGE MANAGEMENT TRAINING INITIATIVE: BECAUSE OF ITS POLITICAL AND CLINICAL CONNECTIONS TO ELECTIVE ABORTION CARE, OUTPATIENT UTERINE EVACUATION MANAGEMENT OF EARLY MISCARRIAGE HAS NOT BEEN TAUGHT TO THE MAJORITY OF PHYSICIANS. DECADES OF RESEARCH ON UTERINE EVACUATION, GENERATED THROUGH EXPERIENCE WITH ELECTIVE ABORTION, HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM CLINICAL INSTRUCTION ON MISCARRIAGE MANAGEMENT BECAUSE OF STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTIVE ABORTION. GIVEN THAT APPROXIMATELY 12 TO 24 PERCENT OF PREGNANCIES END IN MISCARRIAGE BEFORE THE FIRST 20 WEEKS OF GESTATION, THIS OMISSION AFFECTS MANY WOMEN'S ABILITY TO RECEIVE TIMELY AND APPROPRIATE CARE FROM THEIR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. THIS GAP IN THE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ALSO AFFECTS ABORTION CARE: IT LIMITS THE SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO RESPOND TO BOTH SELF-INDUCED AND INCOMPLETE ABORTION. TRAINING CLINICIANS IN MODERN METHODS OF MISCARRIAGE MANAGEMENT WILL RESULT IN MORE ACCESSIBLE, PATIENT-CENTERED CARE FOR WOMEN EXPERIENCING EARLY PREGNANCY LOSS AND A STRONGER SYSTEM OF BACK-UP FOR EARLY ELECTIVE ABORTION. AAP IS WORKING WITH CLINICIANS IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS TO HELP THEM COMPETENTLY AND COMPASSIONATELY MANAGE EARLY PREGNANCY LOSS IN AN OUTPATIENT SETTING, ENHANCING THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL WOMEN. WE TRAIN STAFF AT ALL LEVELS TO INTEGRATE THE EVIDENCE-BASED STANDARD OF CARE.
