Abstract
- The article discusses the double bind trapped between the risk of criminal conviction for ending a pregnancy that is not perilous enough to qualify for the medical exceptions to state abortion bans and the risk of civil liability for not ending a pregnancy that is too dangerous. Topics include historical precedent for a modified version of the double bind, representative medical exceptions from state bans on providing abortion, and the problem with enumeration.
