Care Post-Roe: Documenting cases of poor-quality care since the Dobbs decision
Save
Since the US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in June 2022, total bans on abortion have gone into effect in 14 states, and severe restrictions have been enacted in others, including bans before many people know they are pregnant. In addition to restricting access to abortion care, these new laws have affected obstetric and gynecologic care and general medical care more broadly.
More than two years after the fall of Roe, researchers at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) and Resound Research for Reproductive Health have released a new report “Care Post-Roe: Documenting cases of poor quality care since the Dobbs decision” detailing how health care providers are still unable to provide standard medical care in states with abortion bans, leading to more delays, denials of care, and worsened health outcomes.
