Newswise — One year ago, the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing states to ban or greatly limit access to abortion services.
To find out how the changes in abortion laws are affecting medical care, KFF conducted a survey. They asked OBGYNs who work in offices about how their practices and patients have been affected by the Supreme Court's decision. The survey found that in states with bans on abortion, half of the OBGYNs reported cases where their patients were unable to get the abortion they needed.
Below are some of the latest research and expert pitches on the topic of abortion access posted on the Women’s Health channel and the Reproductive Freedom channel.
