Abstract
The term “elective” enables the creation and perpetuation of abortion stigma, and contributes to a hidden curriculum for abortion training in medical education that distracts from core content, incorporates social judgment of patients into medical practice, and promotes normative gender concepts. Our findings support calls to improve the language of abortion care to ensure policies and training environments are consistent with professional standards.
