NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — Concerns about encountering "fake" patients and being threatened by "sting" operations are pervasive among abortion providers and their clinic staff, somewhat out of proportion to their actual risks, according to research conducted at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Lead author Emily J. Youatt, MPH, a doctoral candidate at the university, said this fear "introduces a new stress to an already burdened workforce" and can "negatively influence the patient–provider relationship."
At the American Public Health Association (APHA) 142nd Annual Meeting here, Youatt presented the results of a survey that explored stigma and fears among abortion care providers.
Abortion is highly stigmatized in the United States, and this stigma negatively influences both the women seeking abortions and the abortion providers, she said. Abortion providers, she continued, encounter stigma in a number of ways and at multiple sites: through cultural discourse, laws, and policies; in relationships with family, friends, and colleagues; outside the clinic via antiabortion protesters; and inside the clinic via coworkers and patients.
"This can lead to isolation, burnout, and interpersonal disconnection," Youatt indicated.
One of the most distressing experiences for providers are antichoice "sting" operations, she noted. Women pose as patients and videotape their encounters with staff in an effort to expose improper patient counseling or other practices that could be negatively presented or perceived.

As they should! They are crooked.
You reap what you sew.
As for your “fears”, ISGAS.
I Scarecely Give A Sh**.
Well, if that’s what they fear, that’s what we must do.
If their “business’ was run “properly” they’d have no reason to fear.
Because being forced to report rape, sex slavery and underage prostitution really cuts into profits
I would like to know when they are going to get caught doing abortions on women who are not pregnant?
Evil hates the cleansing that the light brings....
They should. They have been operating shady back room abortion mills in broad daylight.
Of course they do. They know what they are doing is immoral and objectively and intrinsically evil. The thin veil of marketing ‘happyspeak’ around Choice is coming unraveled, NOW and NARAL can’t stop it, can’t manage it, and they are soon to be extinct, praise God.
Half of their patients are unborn babies slated for murder. Doesn't their plan to kill patients also negatively influence the patient–provider relationship?
