Abstract

Interview with Dr. Julie Cantor on court-ordered care for pregnant women in the United States. (00:00)Download Recently, a Florida court ordered a pregnant woman to follow doctors' orders to remain hospitalized for her last trimester of pregnancy. Such forced care during pregnancy is less rare than one might imagine. But should pregnancy diminish women's right to refuse care?
