A recent JAMA Health Forum editorial by law professors Kayte Spector-Bagdady and Michelle Mello argues forcefully that medical providers should be aware that not only medical records but their own e-mails may be used by law enforcement officials prosecuting abortion. Doctors are not the only ones who are fearful. Barringer says that because of the current uncertainties, patients do not want details about past pregnancies documented or will not provide her with that information. Barringer adds that she sympathizes with their concerns but worries a lack of medical history “could interfere with providing the safest care possible in a future pregnancy.”
