Government officials, medical organizations, and advocacy groups have expressed outrage in response to recent reporting from STAT’s Eric Boodman on the experiences of women with sickle cell disease who have felt pressured into getting tubal ligations or hysterectomies. The American Medical Association said in a statement that it “strongly opposes the performance of nonconsensual medical procedures.” In his first story, Eric spoke to 50 women with sickle cell, seven of whom reported being sterilized with questionable consent.
These stories are nuanced, and so are the possible responses and solutions. But experts say that education and equal access to care are paramount. Read Eric’s story on the reactions to his reporting. And if you haven’t already, check out his ongoing investigative series on the problem.
