On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, concluding that the Constitution of the United States does not confer a right to abortion. The court’s decision in Dobbs immediately introduced challenging ethical issues for social workers who serve people who become pregnant. Key questions concern social workers’ ability to protect clients’ privacy and confidentiality, documentation protocols, and client abandonment. In addition, social workers must be concerned about the possibility that they are at risk of being named in licensing board and ethics complaints, lawsuits, and criminal court indictments because of their work with people who seek abortion-related information and services. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the Dobbs decision; discuss compelling ethical issues facing social workers who work with people who seek reproductive health information and services; present guidelines to assist social workers who face ethical dilemmas related to reproductive health services; and highlight the critical importance of ethics-informed social work advocacy related to reproductive health.

后 Roe 世界的道德实践：社会工作者指南

2022 年 6 月 24 日，美国最高法院投票推翻了罗伊诉韦德案，认定美国宪法并未赋予堕胎权。法院对多布斯案的判决立即给为孕妇服务的社会工作者带来了具有挑战性的道德问题。关键问题涉及社会工作者保护案主隐私和机密的能力、文件协议以及案主遗弃。此外，社会工作者必须担心，由于他们与寻求堕胎相关信息和服务的人打交道，他们可能会在许可委员会和道德投诉、诉讼和刑事法庭起诉中被点名。本文的目的是概述多布斯案的决定；讨论与寻求生殖健康信息和服务的人一起工作的社会工作者所面临的令人信服的道德问题；提出指导方针，以帮助面临与生殖健康服务相关的道德困境的社会工作者；并强调与生殖健康相关的道德知情社会工作宣传的至关重要性。
