More Women Turn to Continuous Pregnancy Monitors in Wake of Dobbs Decision

Tallahassee, FL - In response to tightening restrictions on access to abortion across the country, more Florida women are now turning to a state-funded technology that continuously monitors their uterus and alerts them at the onset of pregnancy, allowing for more time to consider their options and to make plans.

"Because of new laws that have emerged in the wake of the Dobbs decision, women are looking for something to help them feel like they have more autonomy over their bodies and control over their lives," medical researcher Mort Fishman, MD explained. "That's where our continuous monitoring system, and the state's pregnancy database, come into play. When a new pregnancy is confirmed by the device, the Governor's Office will be alerted immediately and ready to provide guidance and assistance."

Once inserted into the uterus, the PermaScan Internal Pregnancy Monitoring and Alert System (PIPMAS) provides constant surveillance for the development of pregnancy using both biochemical assays and direct visualization. According to Fishman, who heads Florida's Department of Internal Surveillance (DIS), women appreciate the peace of mind that comes from giving around-the-clock, real-time information on the health and pregnancy status of their uterus to the Governor's Office. "It is empowering because they are free to focus on more important things, like keeping the home and educating their children. The women of Florida are one of our most precious commodities, which is why it will soon be legally required that all of them have the device installed prior to their 11th birthday."

Pregnancy can be a stressful and confusing time for many women, especially when they aren't married or at least in a state-selected heterosexual pre-marriage pair bond. Fishman, who nearly finished the first year of his physical medicine and rehabilitation residency in 1993, has focused his career on improving the lives of Florida women, even the uggos. "With so much misinformation out there, from Planned Parenthood and the liberal Hollywood elites, my goal is to take some of the pressure off of these women with PIPMAS, and the good ones are usually pretty happy to let the DeSantis administration be in the driver's seat."
