Abortion bans in the US like those in Texas have profound ethical consequences for pregnant people.

The health of the community ultimately requires that a broad range of care be available beyond crisis-driven patient needs.

Physicians who provide services remotely must be proficient in whatever technologies they use.

One concern raised by the COVID-19 pandemic is whether physicians could provide care outside of a non-compete agreement or restrictive covenant.

Physicians have an ethical obligation to address conditions that undermine their ability to fulfill their responsibilities to provide safe, high-quality patient care.

Decisions to allocate scarce resources should not be based on non-medical criteria, such as judgments about a patient’s social worth.

Physicians’ dual obligations to serve both the well-being of their individual patients and that of other patients and the community at large come into sharp tension in a public health emergency.
