Experts discuss medical consequences of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision and ongoing challenges in abortion access
As part of our ongoing conversation on the impact of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, we hosted a panel of experts to discuss the medical consequences of that ruling. The decision has made abortion illegal and inaccessible in some states, impacting care for people in large swaths of the country. Panelists discussed the various impacts in different regions and for different population groups. Despite the challenges and barriers, many providers and advocates continue to work towards normalizing abortion and increasing access to care.
