abstract

  • Ann Lohman, a midwife in the 1800s also known as Madame Restell, deserves our attention following the US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization in June 2022. As abortion regulations change, it is important that health care communities learn from past experiences. This article examines the historical context in which Lohman practiced and draws out key lessons to be applied today.
