The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has major national public health repercussions. While abortion has long been a hot topic in the political arena, we believe it should be viewed through a clinical and public health lens, not via one’s political ideology.

Cureus is calling for submissions that relate to or address the clinical and public health implications of abortion bans and restrictions. We hope this initiative will help raise awareness and prompt discussion about abortion, reproductive rights and maternal mortality.

While the United Stated Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade prompted this call for articles, we understand that abortion access and reproductive rights are a global topic affecting people all over the world.

Editors will consider original articles, review articles, editorials, case reports, and “autobiographical case reports.” Please add the keyword “abortion” to your submission to be included in the email campaign and newsroom page. The deadline for submissions is October 31st, 2022.

And don't forget that we are still looking for submissions related to mental health awareness! Millions of people all over the world face the reality of living with a mental illness, and Cureus is calling for submissions that relate to or address mental health concerns. We hope this initiative will help raise awareness and prompt discussion about mental health. The deadline for submissions is July 31st, 2022.
