However, in the focus solely on physical health and survival, procedures whose main benefits advance components of well\u2010being beyond health, including self\u2010determination, personal security, economic stability, equal respect, and creation of meaningful social relationships, have been disproportionately deprioritized. We describe how female reproduction\u2010related procedures, including abortion, surgical sterilization, reversible contraception devices and in vitro fertilization, have been broadly categorized as \u201celective,\u201d a designation that fails to capture the value of these procedures or their impact on women's overall well\u2010being. We argue that corresponding restrictions and delays of these procedures are problematically reflective of underlying structural views that marginalize women's rights and interests and therefore threaten to propagate gender injustice during the pandemic and beyond. Finally, we propose a framework for triaging reproduction\u2010related procedures during Covid\u201019 that is more individualized, accounts for their significance for comprehensive well\u2010being, and can be used to inform resumption of operations as well as subsequent restriction phases<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/hast.1130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]],"date-time":"2020-06-29T08:14:09Z","timestamp":1593418449000},"page":"40-43","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Rethinking \u201cElective\u201d Procedures for Women's Reproduction during Covid\u201019"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Marielle S.","family":"Gross","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bryna J.","family":"Harrington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolyn B.","family":"Sufrin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruth R.","family":"Faden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_1_1","unstructured":"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid \u201cNon\u2010emergent Elective Medical Services and Treatment Recommendations \u201d April 7 2020 https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/files\/document\/cms-non-emergent-elective-medical-recommendations.pdf."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780190053987.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","unstructured":"Society of Gynecologic Surgeonset al. \u201cJoint Statement on Re\u2010introduction of Hospital and Office\u2010Based Procedures in the Covid\u201019 Climate for the Practicing Gynecologist \u201d April 28 2020 https:\/\/societyfp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Revised_Reintroduction-of-Hospital-and-Office-Procedures-w-REI_final.pdf."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","article-title":"How to Risk\u2010Stratify Elective Surgery during the Covid\u201019 Pandemic?","volume":"14","author":"Carter D.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Patient Safety in Surgery"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","volume-title":"Abortion & the Politics of Motherhood","author":"Luker K.","year":"1985"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapsychiatry.2016.3478"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","unstructured":"\u201cAn Overview of Abortion Laws \u201d Guttmacher Institute accessed April 1 2020 https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/state-policy\/explore\/overview-abortion-laws."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","unstructured":"Carter \u201cAbortion Access during Covid\u201019 State by State.\u201d"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","unstructured":"\u201cJoint Statement on Abortion Access during the Covid\u201019 Outbreak \u201d American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists March 18 2020 https:\/\/www.acog.org\/news\/news-releases\/2020\/03\/joint-statement-on-abortion-access-during-the-Covid-19-outbreak."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","unstructured":"\u201cACOG Leads Coalition of Nearly 1 Million Medical Professionals to Oppose Texas Restrictions on Abortion during the Covid\u201019 Pandemic \u201d April 3 2020 American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists https:\/\/www.acog.org\/news\/news-releases\/2020\/04\/medical-professionals-to-oppose-texas-abortion-restrictions."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","unstructured":"S.Tavernise \u201c\u2018Overwhelmed and Frustrated\u2019: What It's Like Trying to Get an Abortion in Texas \u201dNew York Times April 14 2020."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","unstructured":"\u201cCovid\u201019 FAQs for Obstetrician\u2014Gynecologists Gynecology: How Should Provision of Contraception Be Optimized?
